I'd say somewhere between 100,000 and 125,000...

I've seen/heard recommended intervals of between 60,000 and 90,000. And that to 45,000 and you come up with numbers different than what I said... I'm retarded, ignore me!

Not any time soon. sometime well over 100k, probably 125k or higher

You can always call up your local dealer and ask them. If they say they'll do it now, then find a seperate auto repair shop that specializes in German Cars or Audis and ask them as well. Actually i would go ahead and ask a couple of different places anyways, it's always good to have a couple of sources
