Default Timing belt change?

So I have heard that Audi recommends that a timing belt on a 2.7t be replaced every 80K miles or every 8 years.

My B5 S4s timing belt was replaced in 2004 with 73k miles. It is now 2013 and it has 90k miles. Does my timing belt need to be replaced? Or since its a small amount of miles it doesn't need to be?

Thanks for any input you may have!

the belt itself isnt the issue. its the tensioner for the belt. make sure it still keeps constant pressure on the belt to keep it snug. As long as the belt doesnt have any cracks in it and the tensioner is still sprung well youre good.
