Searching helps a lot, seriously ))
Usually it is about 70-75k miles. But to be honest, it is kinda hard to tell for sure how miles u can go more. Some people change them at 60k, some wait till 100k. I changed my mine at around 89k.
But if u have a chance to change it now, i would say do so. Also, make sure u get a new water pump with a metal impeller.

most people do it around 75k to be safe.. i did mine at 77k and it was in perfect shape, all the teeth where perfect, belt looked fine, all tensioners spun freely and even my OEM water pump with the plastic impeller was fine and free from leaks... i could have easily run to 100k... i would wait till 90k to be safe

Audi says 105, they usually do not make it past 85K though. Make sure you do the water pump too.
