Well, if you are considering getting the belt done I wouldnt choose A for Audi. My S8 had this done there at the 54k mark by the previous owner (THe Laird). When I had a 'stat failure I had the whole caboodle done by my local indy. Despite A for Audis claim on their website that only Audi OEM parts are used the belt was Contitech (one of the cheap replacements) and the pulleys were a mix of original Audi parts (i.e not replaced) and cheap non-Audi parts. My indy knows that I want to see what comes out and that i am choosy about goes back in.
But 21 yrs aint bad for a car and 155k isnt too much on the clock. As you suggest the issue is taking a step backwards. After the quiet comfort and, for its age, the toys. its hard taking a step backwards. and that goes for the Mrs too!!
