Default Timing Belt: Link to Dayco chart for which Audi engines are interference

I have a 2001 A6 4.2 and this link by Dayco shows the 00-01 4.2 engines are non-interference but the 02-04 are.

http://www.forparts.com/daycoaudi.htm

Does anyone have any different info?

I won't say this site is any more definitive than yours, but http://autorepair.about.com/library/...ng_belts-1.htm(they seem pessimistic on the change interval however).

Does anyone know if hte 05 A6 4.2 has a timing belt or a timing chain? If it is a timing belt what is the service interval?

1. 05 is a chain and there is no interval to change it just to change the oil and filter regularly.

2. 01 is a non interference and Audi recommend a change or a check at 74k
