You don't say what year. Might also be an idler or belt, etc. I wouldn't screw around waiting to
see what fails as either a pump or an idler can lead to timing belt failure which gets very expensive.

Isn't there an update idler 'kit' for the older A4's? Either way, I would get it looked into
forthwith as if it is the toothed belt tensioner and it lets loose, the damage from that gets pretty pricey.
