Hey All. I'm all new to this forum and new pretty new when it comes to DIY servicing, so apologies in advance for any lack of knowledge!

So I'm wondering if you friendly people could help point me in the right direction.

Owner of Audi A3 S-line 1.8 TFSI 57 plate with now 55,000 miles on the clock. Lovely engine, never had any problems and I want to make sure it stays that way. I bought it used 3 years ago from Audi in stafford and got 2 services included which I used at the end of 12 and 24 months. They performed pretty basic interval oil change services, with dust and pollen filters changed and oil.

I check oil levels, antifreeze, screen wash myself on a fairly regular basis.
I also had the brake pads and fluid changed about 6 months ago.
I had 4 new Conti tyres put on last month.

But it's rolling round to doing some more serious servicing. From my manuals i can see that air.f, fuel.f and spark plugs need doing at 60,000.
From my bit of research today I'm coming to the conclusion that my car does not have a cam belt. It that correct? Do I need to change something else instead?

And in general is there anything else you would advice that I need to start looking at?

Thanks in Advance,

Nick

How often do you check your oil levels, antifreeze and screen wash?

I do a lot of motorway driving and I'm not sure how regularly I should check
