OK, the babe is due for her 60K once-over,
and, I'd think, the timing belt, water pump,
tensioner... (and what else?) It was built in
1999 -- so the 5 years criterion is past due.

If I do it all at the same time, at the dealer,
should there be any reductions in the 60K
maintenance, as a result of doing the other
work?

Or is it just time to trade for something newer?
(Actually, I'm pretty happy with the veek, and
do mostly local, low-stress driving.)

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thought: DON'T have this done at the dealer unless you want to pay like
1/3 more. Find a good reputable independent shop that specializes in
Audi and have them do it.

I just responded to another poster that he search the "Car Talk" site for
mechanic recommendations. If you have no other options, that might work for
you as well.
