Not an A8 or 4.2tdi, but this thread about a A6 3.0tdi raises the same question, with the responses being that there is 'no schedule', and in the event that it does break, all that happens is the car just stops. Someone suggested just doing a visual inspection, with another suggestion being that if the other belts are being replaced, you could add that one as well while you're there. A bit like replacing the thermostat when you're replacing the water pump.

Also, no reference whatsoever in the Maintenance document for the D4 A8:
