Chain or belt on 2016 A6?
Hi, I'm looking to buy a 2016 A6 3.0tdi Sline Quattro, can you tell me if it has a chain or belt and anything else to look out for on this model. It has 41k on the clock. Thanks
Our answer:
Hi Kev,
That car uses a timing chain. We're not aware of any widespread issues with it, you'll be glad to know, though it is quite a new car still.
