Good resource for preventative maintenance and common issues?
Can anyone point me to a good thread (or site) that summarizes preventative maintenance? I have Audi's routine maintenance schedule, but those of us who want our cars to last sometimes do things above and beyond (check the cam, carbon clean, transmission fluid, etc). I'd also be interested in a list of common failures.
I scan the forums periodically, but I know there are folks on here with much better knowledge than me.
I've done my best to take great care of my 10 year old A4 2.0T since buying it new in 2006, but it's starting to show some wear at 95,000 miles. Would love to know about big ticket repairs that might crop up in the next 1-3 years as well as anything I can do proactively to prevent issues and prolong its life.

I chose the Audi Care Packages since it is easily taken care of by the dealer(if it is still under warranty). If you go as per the instructions given in the manual and also change the oil between recommended intervals you can prevent carbon buildup one of the most important factors to consider in preventive maintenance.
