Question 100,000 miles and counting...

I've reached the 100,000 mile mark on my '03 A4, I drive a lot! I'm thinking about the 100,000 mile service at my local Audi dealer, but wanted some feedback first. What services would they perform that I could do myself? Also, what replacements would everyone suggest I do at this mileage. Clutch was replaced at 80K and timing belt at 85K, other than that nothing. Do not want to spend a lot of money that is unnecessary! Thanks in advance for the remarks.

Eric

The dealer interval services are a rip off, the 100k service is basically just an oil change and a pollen filter change. They would probably charge you $200 when it should only be around $70.

mechanic will check fuel filter, oil filter and brake pads if need replaced.

i feel, nothing important at 100k beside timing belt.

Thanks for the info! I didn't want to go in there and spend money on un-needed fixes. Do either of you know how much money would it cost for me to take it in and have them "look under the hood" and see what all they suggest I fix? Just for me to know really.

visual inspections at the dealer are usually free, but they will try and up sell you for crap you might not need.
