How to check if my Audi's timing belt needs to be replaced?

I recently purchased a 2015 Audi A4 and was wondering how I can tell if the timing belt needs to be replaced. I'm not very car-savvy and don't want to wait until it breaks to find out.

First, check your Audi's owner manual to see when the recommended interval for timing belt replacement is. If you bought the car used, you may not have the manual. In that case, a quick google search should provide you with the information you need.

Another way to check is to visually inspect the timing belt. If it looks frayed, worn, or cracked, it's definitely time for a replacement. This is also a good opportunity to check for any signs of leakage or wear on other engine components.
