Audi recommends 60K or 4 years for the timming belt service.  I was
curious about the cost of said service, so I inquired about price the
last time that I was at the dealer.  Ten hours of labor and parts =
$1000 for the stuff you mentioned above.  I think the price that you
were quoted might be a little high.
