What is the normal value of the timing chain for Audi A4L?
1 Answers
The timing chain functions normally within 150,000 kilometers, and it is generally recommended to have it inspected when the vehicle reaches 200,000 kilometers. Function of the timing chain: The primary role of the timing chain is to drive the engine's valve train, ensuring that the intake and exhaust valves open and close at the correct times to allow the engine cylinders to intake and exhaust air properly. Compared to traditional belt drives, chain drives are more reliable and durable. Risks of not replacing the timing chain: When the timing chain reaches the end of its lifespan, it won't break immediately but will gradually stretch. The consequence of stretching could be valve interference, leading to engine instability, reduced acceleration power, or even skipped teeth, resulting in engine failure.
