Timeing Belt @ 85,000mi

The other Timing Belt threads posted suggest that I don't need to worry about timing belt at 85,000mi, but recommended that I should change the water pump.
Also, I have not done any service on it since 50,000mi. The car is running like a dream...any suggestions on suggested service or even changing the plugs?
Thanks,

the front main oil seal. In order to replace the water pump, the timing belt has to be removed. To not replace it at that time would be folly. The majority of the cost associated with replacing the timing belt is labor. Also replace the timing belt tensioner roller, idler pulleys, and serpentine belt. 85,000 miles is pushing the Audi recommended replacement interval of 90,000 miles, and believe me, you DON'T want to lose a timing belt in one of these engines. Damage could easily exceed $10,000!
