Dealer Service
I have a 2003 a4 with 30,000. The only time I brought it to the dealer was to have a fuel sender replaced. Any reason to have a 30,000 mile service at the dealer, i.e. computer update etc. I have a blackwing installed so there is no need to replace the air filter.
Thanks is advance

Personally - I've never subscribed to the theory of planned check-ups at specific intervals. I do most of the routine maintenance myself (checking fluid level, etc.) and either do the fluid changes myself or take it somewhere else to have it done.
Most of the time, the service departments are looking for "customer pay" work to do - they'll give you a whole list of stuff that you should have done, and most folks will say - go ahead and do it as long as you have the car up in the air.
I do follow the recommendations outlined in the owner's manual for service intervals - I just don't take it back to the dealer for that. JMHO....

Not an answer but another queston for the readers. If you don't have the scheduled services done and then need some type of warrenty work performed will they hassle you about not having the scheduled service up-to-date?
