Default Agreed, I actually tried to get my CPO car lemon law'd because it had a paint chip.
Unbelievable, Audi has really gone to hell.

Hmm...we were told it covered through the 75k, including the timing belt.

Default yep, I'm sure it's quite dealer dependent, ours was excellent (and charged more for it).
Our car truly looked new, inside and out, and underneath.

I believe in the 1.8L cars the timing belt was recommended at the 65K service. If your car is one of those then I would expect the timing belt to be covered. Check your service manual to see what is recommended on your car.

Default it's covered on my 06
it's the only reason i bought the audi care, because i was assured it was covered.

Default For peace of mind I'd double check
I've gotten several different answers depending on who you are talking to. The service manager at Circle Audi said it's not covered. The service tech at Pacific Audi said yes. AoA said no "the AudiCare contract only covers up to the 65,000 service and the timing belt is changed at the 75,000 service."

Maybe your contract is different but for peace of mind I'd double check.
