it says "your car is due for 65,000 mile service" - uhhhh, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it 60,000 mile service and then 70?

Default right thats what I do - oil every 5K and service every 10K

but they've never sent me ANYTHING reminding me about anything before (probably because they know they ripped me off on my 50K service), and all of a sudden they are telling me I am supposed to come in for 65K mile service...

Default damnit, no, sorry, you're right 10k mile service intervals but for 2004's it was at 65k, for

2002-2003 it was at 60k.

you're right 10k for Audi recommended service intervals (which is freakin nuts).

Default and I have not had any oil changes or service work done at this dealership since our arguement over

the 50K service a year ago. I've been going to a much better dealership since.

Default I got one from my dealership reminding me that my car was due for it's 60K servicing.

I guess that they didn't get the memo that I sent that says I'll be having my oil changed by a local indy for half the cost that the dealer was going to charge and that I'll be replacing the filters myself.

Already had the oil change done and I just picked up the air and pollen filters this afternoon.
