Default I vote 75-85k. In the Audi manual it says 105k for the 2002-3, but was changed to 75k
for the later B6s. I'm going with 75kish when I get there next year.

Default Had my car never had a problem ... I probably would have done it around 75k, but..
obviously it already has a new timing belt now and the car is kinda messed up

Default I'd double check that... Audi changed the recommended interval to 75k...
if you push it to 100k and it fails on the way Audi may say sorry you're out of luck.

Default 70K to be on the really safe side but recommend not to exceed 80K if they ahve a 02-03...
with mods. While the belts may still look ok, don't forget to also check the waterpump and tensioner.

You may have a point. I'm out of my league on this one.
