If you own a C5 a6 then you have belt. The belt needs to be changed more frequently than a chain does. Although a chain should last the life of the car.

Hahaha. Thanks for making this thread for me. I was curious if the C6 was chain driven or not. Jeff answered that for me. =)

I thought the C6 has a timing belt too, so there is no timing belt to change on the C6?
