Timing chain

There is no manufacturer specified replacement interval for the engine timing chain on Audi A6 2006 2.7 diesel, expecting it to last until the engine is overhauled (approximately 310,000 km - 520,000 km).
Based on real life experience, the Audi A6 2006 allroad quattro 2.7 TDI timing chain change interval is approximately 200,000 km as at this mileage it may become overstretched and require replacement, so it is recommended to check the condition of the chain periodically after this mileage is reached and replace the timing chain if it becomes excessively stretched or if unusual engine noises occur.
