Default Does the 1.8T have a timing belt that needs replacing?

I was just looking through the maintenance booklet for my '97 1.8T and it shows a Ribbed V-belt needs replacement at 90K and then it lists the Timing Belt as:
"Replace(V6 2.8L 5 valve, A8 3.7 & 4.2L engines)"

Does this mean the 1.8T has no timing belt to replace?<p><a href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=161"</a><img SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/a4registrydl.jpg" BORDER=0></a>

You do need to replace the timing belt. Manual on my 2000 says 120K miles, but I will do at 60K.
