Yes.

It doesn't affect you, but it is vitally important that an MB ur-quattro
with a chassis number greater than JA900642 is taken to someone who
knows _EXACTLY_ what they're doing.

The parts microfiche documents a change from 120 teeth to 142 teeth at
this point.  HOWEVER - Audi built a limited number of cars later in the
sequence that were fitted with the older engine using a 120 tooth belt.

We believe that about 50 of these vehicles were built.  Adam Marsden
at AM Cars found one a couple of weeks ago, and was most puzzled until
I explained the problem.  Thank heavens for the Club database.  The
parts microfiche is wrong (again).
