Default at least 500$ (my guesstimate) for 115/hr$ labor at dealership

This honestly can be done yourself for 100$
Filter + Oil Filter + Oil + Plugs


Anyone else feel free to chime in a price guess

but if you can't do that and you need the dealer to do it:


<b>oily stuff</b>
Engine Oil - Change the oil. · · · ·
Engine Oil Filter - Replace the oil filter. · · ·
(85-90$)



<b>EZ stuff...</b>
Engine - Check for leaks. · · · ·
Cooling System - Check the coolant level. Add coolant if necessary. · · · ·
Exhaust System - Check for damage and leaks. · ·
Engine, On-Board Diagnostic - Check Diagnostic Trouble Code Memory. Purge if necessary, where applicable. · · · ·
Doors - Lubricate door hinge mechanism. · · · ·
Battery - Check electrolyte level. Add if necessary · · · ·
Windshield Wiper and Washer - Check fluid level. Add fluid if necessary. · · · ·
Automatic Shift Lock (ASL) - Check operation, incl. park/neutral position switch, where applicable. · · · N/A
Manual Transmission - Check gearshift mechanism and clutch for proper interlock operation. · · N/A ·
Tires and Spare Wheel - Check for wear and damage. Check the pressure. · · · ·
Service Reminder Indicator Display - Reset the display. · · · ·
(probably 100$ to 150$)



<b> fun stuff</b>
Dust and Pollen Filter - Replace filter. · · · · (35$ - 50$ for filter + markup, installation 1 minute)


<b> Not Fun stuff.</b>
Spark Plugs - Replace the plugs. · · · · (....um 150$? @ 2.00$ a plug + swap out)
Ribbed Belt - Replace belt. · · · · (not sure)

Default No need to go to a dealer...

I just did my 80K service myself

If everything is running fine and you have no problems or trouble codes and getting good gas mileage 22-25mpg

Just do the following
Air Cleaner - Replace filter element. · · · ·
Spark Plugs - Replace the plugs. · · · ·
Cabin Filter - Replace
Fuel Filter - Replace
Oil &amp; Oil Filter change (Do it yourself or get it done)

You can find instructions in the forums for all these. The ribbed belt can be replaced at 90K when you have to do the Timing belt replacement.

The only addition things which I want Audi dealer to do and which are not included in the list are
Brake fluid Flush
Fuel Injection Cleaning
Complete Vehicle inspection ($20.00) used a coupon and get it for Free they do all the above inspections as in the scheduled maintenance list..

Save yourself some money buy Genuine products from ECS Tuning you can get all the filters and spark plugs for about $150 and the toughest is the spark plugs change but it is well documented and it will take you about 2 hours, rest is very very easy.

Default You havent told us your service history, if you dont know, have inspection done

at local indy shop. You'll save on labor prices, plus most of the indy techs have worked for AOA at some point.
