♥️ Audi S4 Timing Chain Replacement Interval

Maybe the valve piston or the bore it rides in is worn (maybe a ridge, which can make the piston sometimes get stuck). Audi calls them "Variable Valve Timing Actuator", there are 2, "N205", and "N208". Or a stickey "Camshaft Adjustor" itself, which is on the end of the intake camshaft, and another one on the end of the exhaust camshaft, with a replace filter First at 35,000 miles and thereafter every 40,000 miles S6, S7, RS7, A8 3.0L V6 TDI, A8 3.0L V6 TFSI , *A8 4.0L, V8 TFSI, and TTS only * Note: The S8 4.0L V8 engine is not included in this interval. Air filter - Clean housing and replace filter First at 55,000 miles and thereafter every 60,000 miles S8 4.0L V8 only The 2011 AudiA4's 2.0L 4Cylinder engine is driven by a timing chain. There's no recommended service interval, so long as You're keeping up with regular oil changes and maintenance; if You are, You can typically expect the chain to last the lifetime of Your A4, or about 250,000 miles. Of course, c**p happens. Your timing chain may become stretched or otherwise damaged due to faulty timing chain Replace Every 90,000 kilometres A6 4-cylinder only Spark plugs - Replace Every 45,000 kilometres or 3 years, whichever occurs first RS 3, RS 5, TT RS Coupe S6, S7, A8 8-cylinder only Spark plugs - Replace Every 60,000 kilometres or 6 years, whichever occurs first S3, TTS, A4, S4, A4 allroad®, A5, S5, A6 4-cylinder, A6 6-cylinder, A7, Do any of you have the Factory service intervals for our S4's? If so, what does it say about timing chain service intervals. My understanding of these chains is they were installed on engines to add durability and reduce the need for servicing (like timing belts required). Any help would be appreciated. It's a $20 part (if you get an OEM belt instead of the Audi branded OE belt) and 20 minutes to replace (much easier to manage the belt around the crank pulley from underneath), so small cost for peace of mind I guess.

I've read that its normal for it to rattle for up to 3 seconds and the tentioners use oil presser to apply the tension hence why if it hasn't gone with 3 seconds you might be looking and new tensioner and timing chains. IamClutchNorris. B8.5 S4. • 2 yr. ago. Spider101 said: I've got an A4 B9 1.4tfsi and on the myaudi app under service/additional work it lists camshaft drive toothed belt: renew every 140,000 miles. Spoken to my mechanic and he said the mileage is based on if you average 15k per year say. He said most timing belts don’t need replacing till at least 60k. All depends on the mileage. B7 S4 = old 'normal' 4.2 344 PS, indirect injection, can suffer chain issues. B7 RS4 = Newer FSI/direction injection 420PS, chains seem to behave. B8 S5 = Newer FSI/direction injection 4.2 354PS Goes to show you the value of reducing oil change intervals, and doing an annual regardless of mileage driven, etc. Unfamiliar with the number of tensioners and chain slides/guides it takes to completely service the 3.0T motor in your car, but as you said, you did what you could with engine still in the car. what you should be asking about is if you should replace the timing chain GUIDES. they are made of plastic and often are the likely part to fail. you're at around the point to be kinda worrying, but not quite. i would say shoot for ~100k. but plenty of b6s have made it far beyond that. drive her nice, change the oil a lot and you should be fine. Most of which had 190k +, and still on original tensioner. If proper oil change intervals are done they will last a long time. Also, depending on your skill level, it really only takes 1-2 hours to R&R the timing cover. So if you have to replace the tensioner down the road it’s really not that big of a deal. Timing chains/guides are not a problem on the RS4 – the biggest myth is people worrying about the timing chains (and specifically the plastic guides) on this car…that issue is only specific to the B7 S4 engine, and NOT the RS4. While both the S4 and RS4 have V8s of the same size (4.2L), these are entirely different engines. Bought it with 63k miles and it now has 89k. Man did my family have a blast. Constant state of Perm-a-grin was my driving experience for 3 awesome years, bragging to my audi weary friends about how this particular audi has a "no-maintenance" timing chain instead of a belt that costs 2k to change every 75 to 100k. And now Researched By AutoPadre Research Team. Last Updated 2023-06-05. From model years 2014 to 2023 all Subaru Foresters have timing chains. From model years 2011 to 2013 the naturally aspirated Foresters have timing chains while the turbo Foresters have timing belts. Prior to 2013 all Foresters have timing belts. All Forester engines are interference. WDOZS.
