Hi
Does anyone know if Audi use Belts or Chains in their engines?? In
particular, I'm thinking about the A8 / S8 engine from 2000.

What are the change intervals for this?

Thanks

I BELIEVE that the Audi V8's used belts - but I also believe that the
B6 S4 V8 uses a chain in the rear of the engine - to make it shorter to
fit into the smaller engine bay. Not sure if that change was also made
to the other V8 engined models.

After adding that, I went to Audiworld and confirmed that the V8 does
indeed use a belt - look here -

and here is the info on the V8 for MY 2000 -

DOHC, belt driven, hydraulic lifters / 3 path variable intake
manifold roller camshaft followers, variable intake camshaft timing
