The belt normally loks fine, it is the teeth the show the wear. Were they rounded? or
slightly smaller than on the new belt. I replaced mine at ~75K and there was noticeable wear on the teeth. The belt itself looked fine.

Change timing belt after 5 years or milage...
I just had my 2001 S4 for service and there they said the timing belt should be changed after 5 years (or the specific milage). Mine has gone about 105k KM but I will do the change now. This was in Norway but I guess that doesn't matter much.
