Welcome to the A2oc

The air and oil filters are fairly easy to change but the fuel filter is a real pain. Make sure you use the correct (VW 507.00 spec) oil - Castrol Edge 5w30 or similar. If you'r a novice (diesel engines dont have spark plugs) at servicing cars then get a more experienced friend to help out.
The 'miles to next service' indicator on the dash can be reset using the instructions in the drivers handbook if you don't have access to a diagnostic tool
The attached links from UNKLE at the audi-sport forum should help.
