B8.5 3.0 V6 TDi - Cam Belt or Cam Chain

AshA4 · Sep 17, 2015

As the title says, just curious?
I have done a search on here and on tinterweb, but cant find anything concrete?

From what I have found it seems it is a Cam chain?

All the 3.0 TDI engines are cam chains that are designed to last the life of the car.
I don't think there is a recommended change interval.
They live at the back of the engine so replacement is an engine out job and is not cheap. Typically they seem to be good for 180-200K miles.
