The 2008 Audi A6 utilizes a timing chain instead of a belt, which is meant to last the entire lifespan of the vehicle under normal conditions. However, there is still a chance that it could become damaged or fail. If this occurs, the car will likely overheat quickly. Replacing the timing chain could cost around $100 for the part and an additional $100 for labor. When purchasing online, be careful as some retailers may incorrectly label a timing chain as a cam belt, which will not be compatible and could leave you with a useless part.
