3.0T Service Intervals and question about timing chain

[fstr n u]

My father owns a 2010 B8 Audi S4 with around 35.000mi on it. The dealership he is taking his car into tomorrow said he is due for a timing chain service interval.

I tried searching this forum and google and couldn't find anything on this.

Do any of you have the Factory service intervals for our S4's? If so, what does it say about timing chain service intervals. My understanding of these chains is they were installed on engines to add durability and reduce the need for servicing (like timing belts required).

Any help would be appreciated. I told my father to hold off on letting them do that service until i hear from people who know better than I do....especially given the fact this is a big job (either pulling transmission or engine to do.

An Audi dealer told him that? Timing chain is supposedly lifetime IIRC.

:) my father is darn near 70 and picked it up new in Scottsdale Phoenix back in 2010 He drove it back to Canada and only sporadically used it. He wanted a sporty car but didn't realize he would be challenged given his age, bad back and size getting in and out of the Alcantara seats and smallish door frame. So it got little use. He's going to be bringing it down to Scottsdale Phoenix where it will iive in the garage of his condo. He'll use it a bit more down there than up here in Canada i hope.

I sorta wondered about that timing chain servicing bit.
