I'm not an Audi expert, but in most cases timing chains will last 150,000 miles or more. Its timing belts that have to be replaced before 80,000 miles.

SOURCE: timing chain

Timing chain does not need to be replaced like a timing belt. It will only need to be replaced if it starts making noise or causing problems

SOURCE: manual recommends changing out the timing chain at

You wouldn't think a roller chain would wear out,but they do, each link wears just a small amount, when you add all the links wear together it becomes ALOT, which if let go can stretch and become UNSAFE, not to mention the performance, gas mileage and other effects to the engine and engine management systems.
FOLLOW THE MANUALS RECOMMENDATIONS!!!!!

Good Luck !

SOURCE: does a kia rio diesel 56 plate need the timing belt changing or has it got a chain

The engine which is made by Mercedes is not belt driven, it has a timing chain, timing chains never need to be replaced unless they fail or the engine is being rebuilt.

When should a 2008 Ford escape hybrid at 80,000 miles timing chain be changed

Is there any reason to believe that the timing chain needs to be changed. Transmission sensors, bad fuel filters, dirty air filters, poor fuel quality and worn spark plugs can all affect timing. I would check for play in timing chain. If the vehicle is taken care of and oil and other fluids are changed regularly, timing chains can last a very long time. Much longer than 80000 miles.

When is the timing chain of a 2007 1.5 4x4 daihatsu terios changed?

Timing chains do not need changed until they break or get so loose that they jump a tooth on the chain. But if you have a timing belt instead of a timing chain, it does need to be changed before it breaks. Replace the timing belt every 60,000 miles. Severe engine damage will occur if you do not replace the timing belt every 60,000 miles.

How many miles before you change the timing chain?

If it has a timing chain, which is unlikely, if does not need to be changed until an engine overhaul, but the car most likely has a timing belt which should be changed at about 50000 to 80000 miles.

Does my Civic have a timing chain or a timing belt

It has a timing belt. Recommended to be replace every 105,000 miles, timing belt also run's your water pump good idea to also replace, your engine is also an INTERFERENCE ENGINE which will damage your cylinder head valve's if timing belt goes bad. Hope this was very helpful.

Belt or Chain

Yes those vehicles have timing belts instead of chains. I have yet to see a timing belt that doesnt need to be changed at some point. Maybe the tech meant you didnt need to change them now. Each manufacturer has their own mileage interval, but generally speaking, anywhere between 60,000 and 90,000 miles they are due to be replaced.
