In the 2010 Audi Q5 with the 3.2 L V6 engine, a timing chain is used rather than a timing belt. The chain is designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle, benefiting from internal engine oil support and protection compared to a belt that is exposed externally. Typically, a timing belt would require replacement every 60,000 miles, whereas a timing chain only needs inspection around every 150,000 miles. To check the timing chain, one can inspect the tension and sprockets by removing the valve cover.
The 2010 Audi Q5 is equipped with a timing chain, which is typically more robust and demands fewer maintenance tasks compared to a timing belt.
