Has the belt ever been changed? Previous owner change?
To avoid severe damage to your engine, I would replace it asap.
My RS6 is in the shop today (since yesterday) getting the belt
changed, new plugs, filters, oil change, allignment, all paid for
under warranty.

They've had it for two days and it still isn't finished. I pick it up
on Monday. They gave me an 07 A4 2.0T loaner. Nice little car, but I
want my machine back! d;o(

As per previous post, if you don't know when the cam belt was last done,
then get it changed, if it goes its big money. I normally change them
either 5 years or quite a few k before the stated mileage
