I have an Audi 2009 quattro 2.0t. My timing chain apparently broke and has now messed up the engine causing me to have to replace it. Does anyone know if the 2011 engines are as bad as the 2009?
It is possible that the chain has broken but as to needing to replace the engine is a bit extreme it is not listed as an intereference engine which means that the valves should / maynot be damaged the crank shaft cog is not keyed to the crankshaft so if the pulley/ harmonic balancer was not to specified torque setting , the cog would spin on the shaft indicating a broken chain there is a second chain that drives 2 balance shafts the book has the same set up for a3 quattro 2.0l 2009-2012, A4 quattro 2.0 L 2009-2012 A5 quattro 2.0L 2010-2012, Q5 2.0 L 2011--2012 TT turbo 2.0L 2011-2012 engine identifications covered are CBFA--CCTA--CAEB--CETA I would seek a second opinion from an accredited specialist shop that handles your make of vehicle as what you have been told seems a bit extreme get quotes remember ,talk is cheap but to replace an engine when not necessary can be expensive
