prob be safe to leave till next year or year after depending on millege the norm rule is every 70,000 miles or 5 years wa ever come first
was the water pump at last belt change?

as far as i know all belts were changed, the previous owner had it done at audi main dealer.

double check exactly wa was carried out first of all then go from there he may of jus had the belts changed n not the pullies n pump etc

belts always make me nervous, bottom line is if you can afford it get them done.

If its a BLB engine I would have the balance shaft/oilpump drive changed while your at it ( if it hasn't already been done?) and assuming you can afford it of course.
