So, the Audi Care Select would be good for 20K miles or up to 2 years total after the 45K service. At that time, the 75/85K Audi Care Select could be purchased if desired.
Note that starting for MY2017, the first paid service is at 20K vs. the 15K miles of the older models.

Not exactly. This is a prepaid scheduled maintenace agreement, not a warranty coverage. Per the published maintenance schedule, services should be done at each 10K miles or 12 months after the last service, whichever comes first. The 55/65 Audi Care Select can be purchased any time after the 45K service and therefore, the 55K would need to be done 10K miles or 12 months after the 45K service and the same for the 65K/12 month service.

the 55k service can be done at home if you are a DIYer. Parts should cost about $200 if that (plugs, belts, oil and filter, air filter AC cab filter). Should take about 4 hours of work. no VAG com needed (except for the computer service reminder reset)

55k service
(All prices are rough estimate with labor)
Oil & filter...at the dealer probably $100-200
Spark plugs...$200
Pollen filter...$50
Air filter...$100
Supercharger belt...$200
Snow screen cleaning...$50
Misc checks...$???
Maybe brake fluid flush depending on time.
Sounds about right if they do everything.
It's the labor that gets ya. Oil and filter kits online with better than dealer oil are $60-$70 if you are a DIY kinda guy. Same for air filter only $20.
Spark plugs and the belt might be harder depending on your level of DIYidness.
An indy shop will definitely save on labor if you have a good one in your area.

Sorry, I'm not into turbos.. I'm a supercharger enthusiast!!!
Personal opinion/preference obviously.
Each application has it's uses. And to each their own. Regarless.. both powerplants are fun

You may be confusing the original Audi Care (for the first four services) or the older Audi Care Plus (three subsequent services) with the recently changed Audi Care Select which is for any two services after the 45K (i.e. 55/65, 65/75 or 75/85K mi.). None of these are related to the warranty. I can only reference what the Audi Care Select document states.

NGK iridium laser-- $45(ebay)
Audi Supercharger belt-- $27(ebay)
Mahle air filter-- $30(rockauto)
Generic cabin filter--$10(rockauto)
Royal Purple HPS oil-- $56 (7 quarts)(ebay)
Fram cartridge oil filter-- $3 (rockauto closeout)
Total--- $171.
I don't have to worry about labor as I do it myself. Prolly looking at a 4 hour job and that's including beer breaks. If a shop charges $100/hr for labor, one is looking at out the door cost of around $600. So actually the Audi Care price of $800 is not a bad price at all considering it saves you the hassle of having to buy all the products and having to look for a shop to do it as well.
