Cambelt confusion

Hi there, need some advice please. I'm a recent owner of an Audi Tdi 1.6 sport. When I bought it from the car dealer he told me the cambelt had already been changed but I needed to view online with my audi. Com. I went through this process only to find it has no records of this being done. The local audi dealership is saying that Audi recently changed the cambelt renew to 140,000 miles with no time limit either, just pure mileage. It does say on my audi.com that this is to be renewed at 140000 with no time limit too. I'm so confused as to what I should do as I don't want to drive a car that could breakdown at any time but want peace of mind too. The quotes for Audi to replace the belt and water pump is ÂŁ873 which is a lot of money to pay out on top of just buying the car. It has done 55k and is a 2013 plate. Any advice on this would be gratefully received.

Thanks for your response. Looking through the service book it says 120000 miles for the cambelt to be changed so again there is conflicting information. My issue is also being sold a vehicle that I had been told had had a cambelt replacement when it hadn't. It makes me wonder what else I've been lied to about. The mpg was also advertised as 78mpg which I'm doubting that too now having driven it on long distances and getting more like 50mpg!
