2018 TTS - Chain or Belt driven?

[Datastorm]

Hi,

I can't find the answer to this online, does anybody know if a 2018 TTS is chain or belt driven?

If belt driven, is it a 5yr replacement cycle on the belt itself?

Thanks in advance.

As mentioned above its a chain driven engine and it is not a service item there is no requirement to replace them, and should be good for 150 K miles barring any mechanical issues. I asked Audi UK this last week and the Tech fella told me the above.
