1) It's out of warranty (was 3 years/50,000 miles, 3 years is up), unless it has an extended warranty
2) For warranty work yes, but if it's not under warranty you might want to find a good private mechanic that specializes in Audis.
3) I believe the manual for 97's recomends 70,000 miles. I would say 60,000 just to be safe...there have been some failures reported here under 70,000.
4) Oil, I like Mobil 1, but there are other good choices. Spark plugs, and filters , the stock parts are good.

1.) I think your warranty is probally up because its past 3 years and almost 50,000 miles.

2.) Usually service maintenances are every 5,000 miles so 45,000 would be a scheduled maintenance.

3.) I think everybody is agreed that the timing belt on the 1.8T should be changed at 60,000 miles just to play it safe.

4.) For engine Oil I use Mobil 1 synthetic 10w-30
For spark plugs and oil filters I use Bosch.
