45k service tomorrow. Suggestions and Concerns...
Below is what I want them to do. My main concern is about the wheel bearings. They definitely need to be replaced but I'm afraid they'll zap me because my front wheels have kissed some curb (not by me, but possibly by previous owner)... not bad, but the wheels are a bit scratched up. Any thoughts? What can I expect to pay for and what should be covered? Thanks.
* Oil & filter change
** Please check torque on oil pan bolts **
* Front passenger seat very difficult to move forward - this is the THIRD request to fix this problem
* Loud wheel noise coming from front of car, not certain which side. Sounds like wheel bearings need replacement - this is the SECOND request to fix this problem
* Wheel alignment required
* Car has a rough idle - may need cleaning of ISV (or idle control valve)
* Please lubricate power window motors (they don't do up at the same rate and they squeal). The rear windows seems to rub against the weather stripping, leaving streak marks
* Brakes squealing and rough; Please check
* Front and rear bumper covers seem to be pulled away from body [Anyone else have this problem?]
* Front lower spoiler trip piece needs re-securing - this is the SECOND request to fix this problem
* Radio changes stations by itself (104.9 moves to 105.1, etc.) from time-to-time; SVC doesn't seem to work [This is to get on the waiting list for a new one]
* Please check + tighten serpentine + timing belts

Tell them to check the rear axle boot seals @ the rear diff. If the sweating is excessive then they should replace them. Good luck getting everything fixed.

Seems like a lot of problems to me.
I'm new to owning an Audi, but that list strikes me as a pretty significant list of trouble for a car just crossing 45k. Is this considered normal?

A rotational squeeling at 20-30mph before car is warm. Any ideas? Wheel Bearings? Its not the brakes
