They recommend it on average every 85,000 - 100,000 miles, but it's not a cheap repair so I'd have a reliable mechanic take a look at it and let you know if it looks like it needs it before having it done.

Most timing BELTS are changed at less than 100 k, your owners manual should give you the recommended intervals. If not , a call to a local dealer will give you that info. Being 6 years old , It`s time. And it`s a 2.8 sfi DOHC v6 from the Audi group of motors
to be safe 60,000 miles man
Your v6 engine does use timing chains. Chains last a long time they are not like belts that wear out Don't worry about changing it until it gets real noisy
