Replace engine oil filter.

Change manual transaxle oil.

Check twin clutch sportronic shift transmission oil for evidence of leaks (if necessary, check the oil level).

Change transfer oil.

Check reserve tank fluid level (for active center differential).

Change engine coolant.

Inspect coolant hoses condition (radiator hose, heater hose).

Inspect disc brake pads and rotors for wear.

Check brake hoses for deterioration or leaks.

Inspect ball joint and steering linkage seals for grease leaks and damage.

Inspect suspension system for looseness and damage.

Inspect drive shaft boots for grease leaks and damage.

Change rear axle oil (differential part and torque transfer part).

Change rear axle oil, with Limited Slip Diff.

Rotate tires.

Replace air purifier filter.

In the same boat as you bro. lol My RA is at 42K and, I think it's about $600 for the service likely. It really helps if you can get the filter and fluid yourself vs getting the dealership to charge for them.

even vw changed is recommendations on their "lifetime" aka until warranty runs out for tranny fluid in their 6 spd tiptronic trannys in girlfriends jetta, with the poor track record of the automatic trannys in the ralliart best to error on side of safety, do all you can yourself and get an indy or stealer if you must and "authorize" ONLY what YOU want done!!! if a real manual tranny were offered i would own a sportback ralliart! but purchased a pristine 2001 audi TT 225Q, 37,000 carfax miles at half the cost, being a former jetta turbo owner i was familiar with most everything except quattro, in the end we are all enthusiast whatever performance orientated car we own!!!
