My grandson had a early 90s Audi (don't recall the model or year).
His heater stopped working. I told him it was his thermostat and it
would cost alot to get it fixed, and since they are down there to
replace it they may as well replace the water pump and the timing
belt. He thought it cost too much, so he didn't have the extra
repairs done. Within two months, I had to go and rescue him on I290;
his timing belt broke and ate all the valves. He got it fixed but it
was never the same.
Today he has a chipped 00 S4, and a 95 A4 that he uses for work. Both
of them have had their belts changed. d;o) His dad drives my old
00A6 4.2 and HAS had the TB changed.

Under Warranty??? As far as Audi UK are concerned, this is a service
item, and we have to pay for it - cost me GBP880 to have mine done.

Yep. It is supposed to be done at 50k miles, exactly when the warranty
ends. I'll have about 40 on it next September. I've already had the
front brakes done at 25k miles, under warranty. d;o)
