Default I'm at 75K on my '03 3.0 quattro avant - I'm probably going to do it between 80-85K
Maybe closer to the 80K mark. That seems to be the average of what people are suggesting on the boards, and markedly lower than Audi's recommended, which I believe is 90K.

Default In '03 or '04 Audi revised the recommended Timing Belt service interval on the 3.0L from 105K miles
to 75K miles.

I am at 94K miles and I am planning on having my done before I reach 100K miles.
