S6 C5 Avant please help!!!

[S6C5V8]

Hello guys I'm brand new on here. I've bought an Audi S6 C5 4.2 V8 and I really need some help and guidance. It's going in for a Cambelt next month and while it's at the specialist I wanted to know is there anything else worth getting sorted?

Is it a high miler? I never thought the none turbod ones gave that much bother but recently seen a na 2.8v6 needing both cct. Does the engine come out of the bay on those for a cam belt change or is that just the 2.7 bi turbo. I haven't done one myself but could've swore that I read the engine is lifted out of the bay for cam belt change. If so it's a good time to look for split hoses and things that have fallen apart over the years. So long as the services have been done it should be pretty straight forward. An automatics clutch never gets replaced just the oil replenished. Vw/Audi give the gearbox oil on a manual as for the life of the vehicle but it really could do with being replaced every 40-60000 miles.

Thanks for the reply. It's just ticked over 120,000 miles so not too high for the year. Very extensive service history but the Cambelt was done 5 years ago. It's my birthday next month so my treat to myself is a new cambelt, water pump and thermostat. I'll ask the mechanics to have a look for anything that is showing signs of going. To be fair it's an awesome car and it's been very reliable.
