6 year for the Air filter? I would replace that straight away. I am sure I read somewhere that its best to replace it every year. Its only £20 or less so not really a bank breaker.
After 12 months my air filter is dirty enough, full of dust, I cant imagine how choked up yours is.
Spark plugs, in the manual it says 60k km (~40k miles) but doesnt mention time. I am sure a Audi mechanic told me its best to do them 4 years or sooner because you don't want them to get baked in or slightly corroded and hard to remove. I did mine at 4 years and most were fairly easy to remove and not jammed in. The also revealed the cam cover gaskets were leaking a bit so I had those replaced as well.
Belt on my car lasted 8 years before I replaced it, maybe just luck but I would say the Audi belt is quite tough.
Also fuel filter every 2 years.
