I have a 2014 Q5 2l, at what milage should I start to think about the timing chain. Had a leak at upper chain cover and dealer said to replace all chain parts while they were there. I fixed the leak for under $25. Since dealer said chain needed to be replaced wife is afraid to drive the car. car has 128,000m on it and has been a great car. Change the oil every 5,000m

Welcome to our forum

It is an interference engine. If timing chain breaks or (more likely) tensioner fails your engine will be destroyed. At 128,000 I would change it.

IMHO> Changing oil at 5,000 on a high mileage engine is a waste of money.
