Hi guys.
I have 1997 Audi A8, buoght it used and never have had any problems. Now it has 100,000 miles. Is it time to change a timing belt or can I just keep driving? Thanks for all your help and time.

Has the belt ever been changed? Previous owner change?
To avoid severe damage to your engine, I would replace it asap.
My RS6 is in the shop today (since yesterday) getting the belt changed, new plugs, filters, oil change, allignment, all paid for under warranty.

Just keep driving. I want to hear how much it REALLY costs to rebuild one of those things ...

Wish I had a warranty like that!
They've had it for two days and it still isn't finished. I pick it up on Monday. They gave me an 07 A4 2.0T loaner. Nice little car, but I want my machine back! d;o(

As per previous post, if you don't know when the cam belt was last done, then get it changed, if it goes its big money. I normally change them either 5 years or quite a few k before the stated mileage
