My 35k mile mark is coming up soon and I was considering doing it myself. After looking at my Ebaun service manual it isn't as easy as I'm used to. Does anyone know how much the 35k service cost from Audi?

Here's an idea... have you tried calling a local dealership?

As a matter of fact I was able to pick up the phone a few times before submitting my original post and have not heard back from my local Audi service department. Thank you for the insightful suggestion though.

Automatic transmission fluid $ 60.00 Dust & pollen filter $ 17.35 Engine oil $ 24.00 Gearbox $ 37.25 Oil filter $ 13.00 Total Estimated Parts Cost $ 151.60

Total Estimated Costs Total Estimated Parts Cost For Your Area $ 151.60 Total Estimated Labor Cost For Your Area $ 265.98 Total Estimated Cost (excluding tax)* $ 417.58 *This Total Estimated Cost includes the preventive maintenance items recommended by Audi. The facility that services your vehicle may perform different, greater, or fewer procedures that can affect the cost you incur. For example, engine oil change and filter replacement are commonly performed by dealer and independent service facilities at special prices. These "special price" services do not typically include all of the additional procedures recommended by Audi at each service interval.

I'm not sure if it's the same service plan I was offered, but that one was only oil changes and it cost $600.

I so feal for all of you. It's nice having my '06 and no service cost for 5/50,000 I figure I'm going to save $1,500 - $3,000 in service cost expescialy since at 49,500 I'm going to have them do the realy expensive 50K check.
