Major service due - what else would you recommend?
My D2 S8 is almost at 80,000 miles and over 10 years since first registered (2003).
Audi "long-life" services up to now, so it's going to get the full treatment before the trip to Scotland for the June meet. The only major thing I've done to it since purchase is a gearbox fluid/filter change (non sucky-squirty) a few months ago, and I will ask for the levels to be checked again.
It will be done by an independent who definitely knows what they are doing (one of 2 or 3, not quite decided yet).
There is presumably a major service schedule covering oil, plugs, filters, etc. I'm asking for (or expecting) the following jobs as well:
Cam belt and water pump
Brake fluid
Fuel filter
But what else is "optional" and/or recommended?
