80k maint service, what's needed??

Ok so I reached my 80k maint service. What is really necessary? I've got a Tiptronic, the master sheet says "Multitronic Transmission- change ATF". Does this mean I need to get the tranny oil changed too?? It also says Ribbed Belt - replace??

ATF is automatic transmission fluid. Ribbed belt i'm assuming is timing belt if you haven't already replaced it I would do so soon and get the ECS tuning kit for the parts. It has a better water pump in it.

Maybe look at getting coil packs and plugs replaced if they haven't been for a while or at all. Differential fluids as well if they haven't been changed. Can't think of anything else.

Hope this helps.

Yeah I understand the whole ATF deal but when they say "Multitronic transmission, does that include Tiptronic?? And ribbed belt appears to be different category from timing belt. I'm looking at the master sheet again and from what it looks like I can do most of the work ie; spark plugs, cabin filter, and all the other stuff that just asks for inspection and/or add if necessary. But what are the major services for 80k maint??

Seeing as we hail from the same area, who do you take your car to for service?
