It is an interference engine - inlet valves are all bent - all eight of them, so it is a head off job.Sorry to say - I have been there too .

Hope it wan't be that bad,good luck mate

Poxy luck.

Selfish comment - Just concerned for myself rather than looking to throw stones, pun not intended, but if you were not running an under tray, would that have contributed to the cause ?

Best wishes. Hopefully there's some sort of silver lining however small, even if you most likely cannot see it right now.

Bad news Andy. Hope there's no damage or if there is, it's limited to a couple of bent valves.

On inspection, the alternator belt had disintegrated and oddly the car wouldn't start. Long and short, looks like the alternator belt has caused the cambelt to jump

So based on this photo from the Audi Museum, you're talking the "serpentine" mult-groove belt? On the AAN, we have a true serpentine belt and there are several stories about the "serp" belt failing, getting bits caught up in the cam belt and taking the cam belt out, resulting in at least two bent valves and a head removal repair.
