Basic Maintenance to be done at 80K??
I have a 98.5 A4 1.8T QM. I'm almost at 80K and was wondering what basic maintenance I should be doing at this milage. I had the timing belt/waterpump and such done at 75K. Anything else I should really look into?

I'm doing my 80k this weekend. what i'm doing>
seafoam in crankcase (did gas tank/intake few months ago)
oil
oil filter
spark plugs
air filter
cabin pollen filter
lube sunroof guide rails/door hinges
checking engine/trans mounts condition
things not to do with 80k but doing:
re-center snub (vibration when in gear and stopped)
oil dipstick tube replace (cracked and broken to ****)
And hopefully to top it off, all of this with a beautiful new windshield and lower cowling! ;-)
