So the v6 uses a timing belt not a chain like the vr? I used to be into vw, but i never really looked into audi much.

Yes, it has timing belts, and they are a bit of a pain to change. The engine bay on the V6 is slightly cramped.

like stated above, it does have timing belt. the front end definately needs to be in service mode, off basically, to change it.
