2009 Audi A3 reaching 100k 2.0 TFSI
I own this audi for about a year. I am taking for maintenance of 100k miles. Getting transmission serviced, timing chain checked. I already had to change the pump housing due to a leak so I know that's good for now. Do you guys have any other suggestions I should do when reaching his mileage?

Great looking car. That's exactly the color my wife wanted.
When they do the transmission service, make sure they change the filter too. Ask the mechanic about how they check the transmission fluid level (if they don't mention ATF temperature then go to someone who knows what you're asking. Also ask about basic settings and if they don't know what that is, go to another guy.)
In addition to checking the timing chain, it's probably a good idea to change out the tensioner since it's prone to failure. (Audi won't pay for it because it didn't fail before the settlement was reached. If it fails now, you have to go to the dealer and you have to show proof of all your oil changes.)
You probably have clogged intake due to carbon build up. If your intake wasn't replaced recently by recall, then you can look into cleaning it.
If you have quattro, you'll probably need to change the rear haldex fluid.
You can flush the brake fluid, power steering, and also the coolant if it doesn't look clean.
The other things like spark plugs, air filter, cabin filter,etc. should be changed based on when they were last replaced.

100k maintenance
TKS a lot. I have some kind of oil leak because Everytime I park after running it a while I can smell burnt oil. It doesn't leak to the point of puddle on the ground. Mine is a FWD. They will need to take it apart to check carbon build up right? So that means they would charge more just to check that? He is charging me $360 just for transmission servicing. TJ's again
