I know Audi says~104K, but we all know engine longevity isn't always their top priority. Also, what is the approximate cost? TIA!

I spent about $1k to get tune up, fuel filter, timing belt, water pump, oil, air filter, etc. I had it all done at one time and spent about $1k.
Then my water pump went out a year later. I spent the extra $80 for a new belt and my cousin and I did the water pump and put on a new belt at about 90k. It was $100 for the parts and our own labor. He enjoyed it and I gave him about $200 for his time.

Wow, someone below did their pump and it went on them AGAIN??
I did mine at 60 k/ 5 years, because I was near the end of my Audi Assure warranty. Supplied parts from wholesale source, 350, labor was 12 hours or so.
