In the US, first service at 5K, then another service every 10K after that.
At 35K service, spark plugs need to be replaced, then again each 40K after that.

Other engines in the maintenance guide show spark plug replacement every 60K. Not sure why the 2.0T has a more frequent replacement schedule. The spark plug replacement interval is the only thing Audi specifically mentions as different for the 2.0T vs the other engines in the guide.

It might be an error, or in the case of the 2.0T A5 platform cars (Audi A3,VW Jetta/Golf), the replacement interval 'wrapped' around. The service tables for that car only went up to 100k, after that you repeat the table again (just add 1 to the mileage), VW/Audi listed spark plugs as a 20k item with a star next to it and small print at the bottom saying thats only at 120k, not 20k.
Regarding oil changes, its highly recommended to change the oil every 5000 miles vs. 10000 miles on the 2.0Ts. That engine is brutal on motor oil and tends to have issues with fuel dilution. Speaking of oil, why did Audi opt to remove the dipstick? That silly oil level display makes oil changes a bit of a PITA (at least you don't need VCDS), and what happens when that level sensor decides to stop working?

I've been wondering the exact same thing.... we're screwed without the dipstick.. im sorry but i doubt any of our cars will still be in perfect electronic condition in 10 years.. and thatll be one of the first things to die
