A6 C7 3.0TDI Quattro 2014. Service items.

I can't find anything in the service manual about changing the serpentine drive belt and any of the tensioners, rollers and freewheel pulleys.
It doesn't even mention an inspection. Does anyone know if these components need changing, if so when?

I asked audi to change mine, £200 on top of the service, that was cancelled though due to the virus.
Mine has 126k

Not a big job, certainly not 200 quid!
If I can change a crank damper in situ, they can change a belt.

I've trawled through Elsawin, and the best I can find, is an inspection procedure for the belt and pulleys, which seems to imply only change these parts as and when they are showing signs of wear. So that would suggest the belt should be removed at the 20,000 mile / 2 year inspection service?
The manual does say - inspection of engine components etc from below (visual inspection). But you can't check the belt or rollers without removing the belt.

Yeah i have had two fail on c6 3.0 TDi’s both looked fine, there tight to do.
£200 included the belt.
