It's all stated in the front of your service book, or a quick call to the main dealer will tell you for definite.

Audi A4 timing belt should be replaced every 50-70,000 miles. Car makers have specified the replacement intervals for timing belts. In this database you will find these timing belt replacement intervals along with a little technical information regarding the valve configuration - interference or non-interference. In an interference engine, the valves and piston share the same air space. They never touch, unless your timing belt breaks or skips, and this is a catastrophic failure that requires removing the head and replacing bent valves. Non-interference engines do not risk this contact if the timing belt goes. Nonetheless, either can leave you stranded, so regular timing belt replacement is very important.

That is a very comprehensive answer to a simple question! Lol
