Default Anyone else receive a "Maintenance Manual Update" from Audi? New TB intervals...

I got a letter in the mail with an insert for the maintenance book. They've updated a few maintenance intervals but the ones that stuck out were:

Replace Timing Belt at 75k for 1.8T, 3.0 engines and A8 4.2L.

Replace Timing Belt and Timing Belt Tensioning System at 75k: 2.7L engines only

Replace Timing Belt (all components) at 110k miles for 2.0T engines.

Funny though, my maintenance manual already noted the TB replacement at 75k.

Default Changing the replacement interval '04> but not <'03 didn't make any sense...

from a technical aspect. So, it was my advice to follow the lower mileage limit for all, now AoA is making that official.
