Very true ironman. My fiance's toyota snapped going 75. Relatively cheap fix and all was fine. The Audi interference engine is completely different. My fingers are crossed.
The front end is off the car.
I'll let you know how it all goes later on today.

hopefully this helps. reall i havent heard of many V6 breaking abelt espacially in a 12v. hopefully the best case is that the belt just needs replacing and for you worst case scenario (lets hope not) its just a few bent valves.

Did you actually check the valves? Even at idle the pistons have plenty of force to bend a valve. So im hoping that you actually took of the heads and checked the pistons and valves. If not, you could be causing more damage in the long run
