Hi

I am trying to find if Audi Q7 2007 have a Chain or a Cambelt. I rung Audi dealers they are saying a Chain but AudiCar are saying a Belt.

Please confirm

thanks

Thank you for fast response.

Normally the chains dont need to be changed and have a lifetime warranty but only if the car is maintained by Audi. The dealer should be able to confirm this for you. My cousin has a 750 and that is what BMW told him.
Which model do you have? We are looking at buying either the 3.0 TDi or a Range Sport TDV6, just not sure which one..! I prefer the interior of the Q7 :)

The 3.0 and 4.2 litre diesels have a belt drive for the injection pump, otherwise they are all chain.
