Default Maintenance Questions about 07 a6 4.2

My car just broke 100k miles this week and im looking to do some maintenance.
What is the recommended work that needs to be done so i can keep the car running smoothly for another couple of years?

So far i am thinking of replacing all the fluids and changing the spark plugs.

Is there anything else i need to do?

I appreciate any help.

Thanks

Looking at the 2006 maintenace schedule (may be differrent for 2007), there is service for 95K and 105K miles. You probbaly want to do the 95K mileage service, which is the following:

* Change oil and filter
* Wipers - check, top off washer fluid
* Check tires
* SRI - reset
* Brakes - check pad thicknesses, leaks, fluid level
* Wiper Arm Pivots - lubricate
* Coolin System - check and top off as necessary
* Exhaust System - check for damage
* Engine Diagnostics - check for faults
* Battery - check
* Dust and Pollem Filters - replace
* Tranny - check for leaks
* Sunrof - clean guid rails and lubricate
* Front and Rear Axles - check for excessive play, dust seals
* Drive Shaft Boots - check
* Spark Plugs - replace at 55K miles or 6 years, whichever occurs first. Then, every 60K miles or 6 years, whichever occurs forst (your plugs are due at 105K miles)
* Air Cleaner - replace filter
* Snow Screen for Air Filter - clean

this might sound stupid but what does de-carbonize mean?

Audi are well know to build carbon deposit because they are direct injector if you don't clean it you will see a reduction in power and gas economy. So the Audi dealer offer a de-carbonize service they use some highly grade cleaner for that they injected in the induction like the seafoam or whatever the name is but the Audi one is better and if they broke something they have to pay for it.LOL
