Final free maintenance

I am taking my 2005 TT into the dealer for its final "free" maintentance - my four years of warranty is up in April - the car has 27,000 miles and I really don't have any problems/issues - need input as to what I should have them check/adjust/repair/etc. I am sure they won't volunteer to do anything unless I ask. All that I can think of is the brakes - what about timing belt??? TIA.

For starters

Make sure they did a brake fluid flush recently or see if they can get that in.

Brake pads squeaky / grabby - see if the pads are worn enough to be replaced. Are rotors worn?

Don't forget the wipers as NoDot says. Have 'em rotate the blinker fluid too.

From my TT experience, I believe you might be hearing something>>

clunking in the front suspension. Might be worth a look.

How are those CV boots? Joints?

I swear I hear something...

^^^^2nd....check all bushings in control arms stabilizer etc, also check thickness of

rotors if still within spec or not...you are looking for one last free set front/rear.

How's it shifting? Could try to get a tranny flush. squeaky hinges...i.e. get every hinge (doors/hatch) lubed.

Check over your interior for anything that may be worn or not closing and sticking as you will be out of luck in the future on those items. All interior lights/illumination on everything working?
