New to A6 but not Audi...
So forgive my stupid questions.
I have heard conflicting information on this...Does the 4.2 have a timing belt?
Does anyone have a sound clip of removed resonators on stock V8 exhaust?
I'd like to add rear exiting exhaust tips, but my car has the hidden exhaust. Is this a big job for DIY?
Any help is greatly appreciated and I am very excited to use this site and get to know more Audi owners. TIA

I would be curious how often those chains need to be replaced - are the intervals that much better than the belts?
Speaking of which, I asked my local shop what they recommend for the timing belt and they said 90,000. They said it runs about $1000, so based upon what I've seen that seems like a fair price.

I looked in the book and it doesn't givea service interval but usually timing chains are up to 100% longer replacement interval than a belt. The other thing is usually beforea chain gives up you have some indication that there's an issue (chain rattling). When a belt goes it's gone and damn it's expensive!
