[A4] service interval

[Brian O'Connell]

FWIW, the last time I was in the dealership (in the
mid-60s), they "officially" informed me (verbally and
on my work order) that I might want to consider
changing the t-belt in my 98 2.8Q soon - this was in
spite of the factory recommended 90k change, and was
not said to me because of anything that they saw with
the car - more as a preventative measure.

I'm planning on doing it at 75k, which is coming up
soon.
