Oil pump chain replacement

[tsbiker]

HI, Members.

I am in process of replacing the timing chains on 2010 Audi A4 B8 Quattro turbo engine with 114K miles.
Is there a way to replace the oil pump chain without removing the oil pan ?
It seems not enough space to remove the old chain and install a new chain between the oil pump sprocket and oil pan housing.
I am wondering how much longer will the original oil pump chain may last if I can't replace it in this project.

Your experienced advise will be appreciated.
