Is the information in this link, wrong?

"Design progress in other areas on the 3.2 FSI engine concerns for instance the timing chains that drive the camshafts. ... They need no routine maintenance and do not have to be changed throughout the engine’s operating life."

Are you sure about the 3.2FSI?

Sorry, I was incorrect. I guess I was thinking about the rear v-ribbed belt which I believe the 3.2, per the maintenance schedule needs to be checked at around 75K.

Mine is exactly like that one. Except mine's silver. And mine has a rear seat. And the engine is in the front and the trunk is in the back. And mine has four doors and two windshield wipers. Otherwise, that's just like mine. I think......no wait.....never mind. I may be confused here...

- High speed Vibration - Upper control arms were redesigned due to different bushings. Corrected with replacement arms.
- clunking sound while from D to R shifting
- Wrinkling of both front leather seat center panels - resolved with replacement of leather panels.
I've got these 3 problems, 1st two are solved... only wrinkling still exists.
Would it be possible to fix that after waranty period (2years)?

One more thing - after service in 60k KM (~37,5k miles) I did notice that my automatic transmition is workin' a lil bit different - when I put it in D and and let off brake pedal it starts with a strange jerk... the start up is not smooth, especially when it's cold.
Such thing wasn’t before service... I took it to my dealer but everything seems ok, no malfunctions, latest software update etc...
Maybe someone got similar issue?

I had to get my rear fog light bulb replaced in my '09. Wouldn't have been an issue on an '10 w/ LEDs ![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.audiworld.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Also, I believe w/ the '10s you have to get a Prestige to get auto-dimming mirrors. One less thing to fix on the more common Prem+ for '10
