Does anyone know for 100% that the TTS is chain driven?
One on the UK forum just had a TTS Dynoed and reports that the TTS is belt driven? I find it odd as everything else I have heard is that it's chain... I couldn't find any official info... I hope we weren't just assuming it was chain because of the normal 2.0T is? This all seems odd!

It is belt driven - and based upon the older engine - not the new CCTA
engine. It's easy to tell - if the engine doesn't have the oil filter on the top with the dipstick to it's left - it's the old engine architecture.

The new CCTA is based upon the old engine just not belt driven anymore.!
Audi was sued to many times they had to dump the belt.
No way,, not in "ANY" of the new Audi's running the 2.0 TFSI's.<ul><li><a href="http://www.technologynewsdaily.com/node/9764">this is what's in the new TTS</a></li></ul>

BELT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The new CCTA engine is NOT based on the old BPY at all
The TTS engine has a Timing Belt - end of discussion. The new CCTA engine has a Timing Chain and is completely different in almost everyway. It is also offered in two variants - the transverse version does not have the variable valve lift - and the longitudinal engines do - hence the difference in power ratings for the TT, VW GTI/Jetta etc. and the B8 A4.
