Is my Audi A1's belt due?

Hi l, I’ve had a call from Audi saying my Audi A1, TFSI 1.2 ref PF65 CYT needs a new cam belt. It’s only done 38,000 miles please could you confurm if this car actually has a cam belt or a cam chain? It’s a petrol if that helps. Thank you - they don’t provide a service book with their cars as they keep it all online and want you to take the vehicle back to them - so v. Expensive- Thanks for any advice you can give .

Our answer:

Hi Sam,

According to our records, that engine uses a cam chain, not a belt, so it appears that the dealer may have made a mistake...
