Preparing for 80K self service, looking for info...
I looked over the maintenance schedule and it shows replacing plugs, air filter, pollen filter, oil&filter, and lots of checks. What is the OEM spark plug and is there some other(s) that I should consider? What else would be recommened at this mileage? I am apprehensive about just following the book. On my TT at 60K I found that the timing belt should REALLY be replaced, and the maintennace schedule says not until 105K.
TIA

Timing belt between 60-70k miles, the sooner the safer.
Stock spark plugs are NGK PFR6U-11G.
Stick with a factory air filter. Oil from K&N style filters ruin MAF sensors. Flush brake fluid every 2years regardless of mileage. I would recommend replacing the serpentine belt tensioner when you do the timing belt as I have seen many of these fail.
Avalon motorsports has performance and OEM parts. They have a ton of parts that aren't on their website, but here it is anyways:

Or just call them at 303-400-3001

Re: Jack in VT - where are you located? I can't find a reputable indy shop that I trust in my area.
I'm just outside of Burlington. There are two shops I know of that do a lot of Audi work, Washburns in Richmond and Snowfire in Waterbury. Washburns are good people but expensive. I have never used Snowfire but I have heard good things about them, farther away. I will probably try them next time (maybe for the timing belt) as they are supposed to be less expensive.
