1st post need some answers

hi guys and gals, im new to the audi side of things having been a strong rover 75 fan for a while. However, on saturday i pick up a 1997 audi a4 2.6 v6 se. A couple of things are confusing me abit and wonder if you could shed any light on the subject.

1. remote central locking.... The car currently has 2 keys but no remote central locking fob, do all a4's of this year have no remote central locking or is it missing and if so where can i get a new fob and get it programmed to the car. it just seems odd to me that most cars from 96 onwards had a remote fob of some description.

2. timing belt changes..... does this car have a belt or a chain. ive heard that this is a sohc 12v v6 and has a chain (fingers crossed) but if it has a belt how much can i expect to pay for a change?

Hopefully some of you guys have the answers im looking for so i can put my mind at rest. Many thanks and best wishes, simon.

the early audis didnt all have remote cdl
has the car got sensors on the b pillars? if so it had infared cdl

this car is belt driven
if you do belt change idlers and check water pump as these fail

hi thank you for the quick reply, what do these sensors look like?:confused:

hi welcome not sure about the keys but there is one thing i do know it cant be a 12 valve single over head cam if its a V6 the v means it as 2 cylinder heads each containing 3 sets of valves for each cylinder the 6 stands for 6 pistons and yes it will be a timing belt

the sensors which would be fitted on the b pillar 12mm wide 30mm long 4mm deep situated 40mm up from door closure point domed look like television infared port but bigger
