2009 2.0T 55k Service Costs
Hi,
I am a fairly new Audi owner, purchasing my first non-domestic car ever late summer last year. I LOVE the car, it is a 2009 A4 2.0T Prestige CPO. I bought it with about 30k on the odo, now I have 55k and need to get in for the 55k service.
I was hoping to get some insight on a few questions I have. I put tons of miles on cars (about 50k/year), pretty much all highway, so needless to say I'm at the service intervals about every 2-3 months. I received a quote from a dealer for the 55k service, which was about $500..$360 labor, 130 parts. I reviewed the services list, and it didn't seem like much outside of an oil change and tire rotation. Here are my questions:
Am I missing something with the 55k service? Is this more major than Im reading?
What are the major intervals I should be aware of?
I'm fairly handy, and have changed oil in cars previously, should I just DYI? Does that affect the CPO warranty?
Any advice for the high mileage I drive?
I'm planning on driving this for about 3-4 years, put 150k or so. Would it be ok to just change oil/tire rotation/inspect/lube hinges/etc every 10k myself and save a ton of money?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,

My 55K service for my '09 P+ 2.0TQ cost about $500.
Consisted of the following:
1. Engine oil/filter change
2. Brake system check
3. Cooling system check
4. Exhaust system check
5. Battery check
6. Engine OBD check for faults
7. Dust/pollen filter replace
8. Transmission check
9. Front axle checked for excessive play, dust seals on ball joints and tie rod ends
10. Drive shaft boots checked
11. Air cleaner filter replaced
12. Clean snow screen for air cleaner
13. Underbody check
14. Check tires wear
This is my second Audi A4. My first was '99.5 A4 1.8TQ that I put about 200,000 miles on in 10 years time. I just followed the manufacturers suggested maintenance intervals. Oil/filter was changed every 5K. As the car mileage closed in on 200,000 miles, had to replace a couple of wheel bearings, rubber hoses, etc....things that I would tend to expect given the age and mileage.

$500 is an absolute ripoff! I got my first "major" service done at a VW stealership many years ago for less. The major includes spark plugs as well. My indy would probably do this for around $150. We are talking oil/filter plus a couple of air filters. That's it. $500 is a joke. All the other checks are often done as a courtesy at good indy shops.
