Hi - My 2015 Q5 has close to 85K miles. I took it in recently for oil change at the dealer. After sometime, the service technician told that the timing chain is extended by 5" and will need to be replaced in next 5K/10K miles. Quoted around $2500 for timing chain replacement! I asked for a service quote and got a sticky note!! Has anyone with Q5 run into this issue? If so, can you share your experience? thanks in advance.

I posted the part list and there's a dedicated thread over at Audizine. There should be one here too but the moderators haven't done it which is a shame. The screen is probably ripped off your cam bridge. I would run short oil change intervals and consider switching to an oil for direct injection (GDI/DFI) engines.

I bought an OBD11 scanner and read the camshaft bank1 position (see picture). Shows -4.44 degrees. Should I be concerned at this point and look to replace my timing chain? Thanks again!

The value can be significantly worse on a hot engine. Your timing chain is ready to be replaced either way at 4.44 and I would do tensioners and guides while you're in there. I have several posts here including part numbers and costs. Good luck
