Which Audi A6 models have a chain cam?

Do any Audi A6 models up to five years old have a chain cam?

Asked on 24 August 2010 by Nick the Brick

Answered by Honest John
V8s do and V6s do, both petrol and diesel. All four-cylinder models are belt cam, because the A6 did not get the 1.8TSI 160, which is chain.
