not sure what the B6 ref is but my A4 2.4 SE V6 was 60k miles.
Throw some numbers up in the air and what your left with is the recomended service date for timing belt change.
The long and short of it is, stick to 60k if you can afford it.
Here is the Audi Official times, according to a UK manual
40k miles - RS4/ 2.7 V6 biturbo60k miles - TDI Engines
80k miles - 2.4 V6 /3.0V6 /V6 TDI115k miles - 1.8 4-cylinder engines / 2.0 4 cylinder engines
There is a footnote on the 1.8 engines that says certain models need it changing earlier, consult your dealer, I presume they mean 1.8T
Change it just before it breaks :-)
You'd probably be very unlucky if you stuck to 60k and had one break on you. But the belt itself is only half of the story. If the belt drives the water pump (as it does on most if not all Audis) then the pump will break the belt (or strip its teeth) if the pump seizes. BTDT...

Interesting looking at the 2004 A4 maintenance schedule - they recommend rotating the tires at 5k miles, but never again after that.....
