Car won't start, it was turning over normally but just would not catch, after continuing to try to start it turns over very fast when cranking. Come to find out didn't have any oil so I put some in the car, still won't start. Someone looked at it and told me that the belt was broke. Should I take my chances and replace the belt or does it sound like my engines gone.

So if the belt broke, chances are you have bent valves. If the belt broke while the engine was running the damage would be much worse than if it broke trying to start it. You need to find an Audi specialist, and you need to know that timing belts are regular maintainance items and must be replaced at the recommended intervals if not sooner to avoid problems like you have, if the belt is really broken. When you said 'turns over very fast' the first thing into my mind was 'timing belt.'
