If you had the car serviced at an Audi dealer and its a full service history
then they have no come back, unless they advised you change the belt at last
service and you said no.

What model Audi is it, I suspect its an 1.8T as there renown for snapping
cam belts...?

60k miles is the Audiworld users recommended change time, and 80k if you
have a V6 model.

You will have bent a few valves, just take it to a independant garage, if
its a 1.8 then your looking at a days labour and the price of a new set of
valves. If its a V6 then its quite a bit more expensive.
