According to the manufacturer, the 2013 AudiA4 comes equipped with a timing chain that should last the lifetime of the car. However, issues like wear and tear or a faulty timing chain tensioner can lead to problems. Over time, the timing chain may stretch or become distorted, causing the car to operate roughly, hesitate during acceleration, or even shut down. If you hear a slapping noise when you first start the engine before it warms up, it could be mistaken for another issue like low oil pressure. Replacing the timing chain typically costs between $450 and $600 on average, though the final price may vary based on the labor required for removal.
