[Biturbos4] Cost for 60K Service

[Grant]

Me too.  Was so amazed at the stuff that had to come off I took 
pictures.

  But that's my point. Its probably a 50-60 minute book job labor only, 
which at Audi shop rates means $75-125 in labor, plus 6 plus at about 
$12-15 each audi retail ( i mail ordered them for $6.75 plus shipping). 
  So the plug job alone is probably accounting for $150-$200 of the 
bill.  Of course all the service intervals changed after 2000, so maybe 
"my 60k service" and the original posters differ.  I think oil changes 
are now on a 10k interval vs 7500 for my year. I suspect other things 
also shifted to fit into audi's yearly and semi-annual visit schedule.
