OEM Kia Timing Components

For your Audi to run right, the timing of its engine parts must be exact. Its camshaft and crankshaft must move in sync to make its engine's valves and pistons pump accordingly. A factory Audi timing chain best ensures everything happens the way it's supposed to. When it doesn't, though, engine damage results.

How to Spot Timing Chain Issues

Unfortunately, telling when a timing chain is going out is difficult. There aren't many signs. If it starts to degrade or it slips, though, an engine misfire will tell you. However, this often happens without warning. If it goes bad and breaks, however, you'll know it: you'll hear a deafening crack, your engine piston and valve will collide, your cylinder head, cylinder, and camshaft (among other parts) will get damaged, your engine will lose power, and it'll shut down.

When to Replace Your Timing Chain

So, how often do you need to do a timing chain replacement? Your mileage and maintenance schedule factor in, but most timing chains today get built so tough that they last the entire lifetime of an engine. That doesn't mean they can't get broken, though.
