My old car, in case folks haven't realised 👍
I 'think' from memory Audi will quote 5 years as a time based interval, but given the low annual miles and fairly ideal storage conditions I was happy to stretch in time
I can't recall what they advised now on miles but was less than the book quotes
Camspec use all Audi parts so should be all good in terms of tensioners and pulleys etc. The original belt would've been 8 years old when changed, but with the period of low to no use somewhere in there.....
I'd be tempted by a cambelt kit from All German Parts on cost grounds
The only thing I don't know is whether the water pump and thermostat are original. If they are I'd get those changed too but be prepared for sheared water pump bolts
I've seen an S8 in bits for belt change and it's not as bad as people will have you believe. The whole front end incl headlights unbolts still attached to the slam panel and sits on the crush tubes
