Hello,

I was wondering if anyone did their 60k service at home and how hard it is. I'm thinking about doing it myself -- I'm not a grease monkey but want to learn to maintain my car.

Any pointers? Suggestions? I see that 60k service includes oil change, air filter change, various fluid check/change (including some manual tranmission stuff), etc.

I have 2002 A4 1.8tq, apr i+

TIA,

Joe

60K should probably include timing belt as well...that can be a bear!

Easy enough to change fluids, I would let a pro handle the rest

He says $250 for 60k service. I asked about timing belt and he suggests maybe after 90k -- required at 105k. Any cases of timing belting failing before 100k?

From what I read from the forum, everything that's required at 60k service seem doable by me -- basically oil/filter/air filter change. I think with $250, I'm getting a set of professional eyes, forseeing any potential problems.

Can't decide...maybe I'll just get 60k service and I will do another oil/filter change at 65k.

Thanks for replies!

especially considering the cost. Don't you think Audi wouldn't recommend changing at 105K if they really needed to be replaced at 60k?? And better yet, how did you come up with 60k? Why not 40k then?

Search this forum...everything I've read says timing belt at 60K...interesting.

Have fun replacing that engine.
