Default Required maintenance

I've had my 08 A4 3.2 for a little over 4 years now. It had 13k on the odometer when I bought it. Since then, I've put 80k on it. Yes, I drive a lot however, I mostly drive on the freeway with the cruise set on 80.

Now that the car is nearing 100k, what maintenance do you guys recommend. I've done nothing to this car other than normal oil changes.
I'm assuming I'm a bit over due for a fuel filter, transition flush and new plugs. The car still runs great and I haven't had a single problem with it. Any other recommendations? Please know that I don't plan on keeping it for much more than 8 months, if not less. Thanks!

You can find Audi's maintenance schedule on the web. It probably needs what you suggested. I'm in pretty much the same spot as you with a 2008 A4 approaching 90k miles. Most important for me now is to change the timing belt, water pump, tensioner, etc. If you plan to unload the car in that time frame, you might want to take a chance. It's probably $1,200 if you have a good independent to do the work.

I thought the 3.2 had a timing chain?
