Audi A6 and 90,000 mile maintenance

Hello All,

I've got an Audi A6 Avant Quattro from 1999. I have 108,000 miles on the
car and have not had the 90,000 mile maintenance done. The dealer wants
$1,900 for it so it's not a small thing.

I'm curious how crucial people think this 90,000 mile maintenance is?

Also, it seems my CV boots are damaged in the front and need to be
replaced at a cost of $900 for the pair. Ouch..

You absolutely need to change the Timing Belt, tensioner and pulley; there
is no way around this. If you have a good local Audi shop near you it would
probably be more reasonable $$.

Where are you located? Find a local Audi shop. I had my 90k service done
with complete timing belt job and tune up for $700.

I am in Minneapolis, MN. I usually just work with the dealer which is
Carousel Audi. Any recommendations for a better Audi place in Minneapolis?

... and the water pump (if its same design as the 1995 model V6)
