No surefire way, IMO. How many miles on it now?

Dealer says every 105k...I wouldn't go much more than 70k. If it's not the belt, then the water pump, t-stat, etc. will fail.

you could ask an Audi dealer to do a computer search..

granted it will only tell you if an Audi dealer did it, but its better than nothing.
