The 2013 Audi A6 comes with a timing chain rather than a timing belt. This chain is responsible for coordinating the movement of the crankshaft and camshaft(s) to ensure proper timing for the engine's operation. It relies on oil lubrication within the engine for proper functioning. If the timing chain wears out, it can become loose and develop slack. When this occurs, the engine's valves, connected to the timing chain, will not operate correctly, leading to poor engine performance and a rough idle in the vehicle. It is important to maintain proper oil levels to keep the timing chain functioning smoothly.
