Audi A5 — TIMING CHAIN OR BELT?

MODEL LIST - (UPDATED 2023)

| Home / Audi / List of Audi A5 Models without Timing Belt

The Audi A5 is a luxury passenger car (D-segment in Europe) manufactured by the German marque Audi within the Volkswagen Group. This vehicle is the successor the sporty versions of the Audi A4. Within the Audi line, we could say that the A5 is the spiritual successor of the Audi 80 Coupe, while the Audi S5 and Audi RS5 Sport versions take over from the legendary Audi 90.

The Audi A5 began to be sold in 2007. This first generation was very extensive, and lasted until 2016. It used the Volkswagen Group MLB platform. Thanks to this, the vehicle could be manufactured with three different body styles: Coupe (8T3), Cabriolet (8F, Convertible) and “Sportback” (8T8). The latter is a nomenclature invented by Audi to designate a body similar to the Fastback, but with a much sportier style. The history and evolution of the A5 is largely based on its sibling the Audi A4, with which it shares a platform and practically all its components.

Throughout this first stage, the Audi A5 did not stop evolving. In 2007, the Audi A5 with V6 TFSI and V8 FSI engines was launched. In 2010, the Audi RS5 came with Coupe body. It was equipped with a 4.2 FSI engine that generated about 450 hp. The vehicle was redesigned in all its variants in 2011, taking advantage of the Frankfurt Motor Show that same year.

The second-generation Audi A5 was released in 2017, although its production began a year earlier. The vehicle again used the same platform, and had both gasoline and diesel variants.

There are a total of 2 generations of the Audi A5 to date. Among its alternatives are the BMW 4 Series, the Mercedes-Benz CLA, the Volkswagen Arteon, the Jaguar XE and the Lexus RC.

Audi A5. Timing Belt or Timing Chain?

Down below you will see a list with all Audi A5 models that have been produced. They are classified by model identifier, year and type of bodywork. Above each list, we show you a series of pictures so that you can have a visual reference for each model. In some cases, both the original and its updated design are displayed to help you identify them with ease.

In this guide you will find all Audi A5 models:

  • Coupé (2-door),
  • Cabriolet (Convertible)
  • and Sportback (Fastback).
  • The S5 and RS5 Sport Performance models are also included under their corresponding identifiers.

■ Timing Belt / Cam Belt (Correa / Faja de Distribución)
■ Timing Chain (Cadena de Distribución / Cadena de Tiempo)
■ Gear Driven (Distribución por Engranajes)
■ 100% Electric, No Timing (Sin Distribución)
■ Unknown / Not Updated (Información desconocida)

If a car model is specified in blue, it means its motor engine has a timing chain; that is, it has no timing belt. The rest of the vehicles marked in grey have a timing belt/cam belt.
