I was wondering who does their own maintenance and if so, how much of it? I'm wondering how much more difficult the timing belt job is over a 2.7t?

I had my 35K service done by the dealer but the 70K timing belt/water pump I'm planning on doing myself. Oil changes are easy, you do have to drop one swaybar mount to get the filter out. Plugs are fairly easy and should be changed quicker than Audi's recommendations.

Do you notice a difference when swapping them early? Which plugs do you use? Thanks for the quick reply!

and what is your interval?
