A maintenance interval of 90K,,,,,,,,,, do you change your oil every 7500 miles? Every professional tech on VW and Audi will tell you to change it every 60K. O2 sensors aren't covered under warranty after 2yr/24K. They are considered a wear and tear item, like a spark plug. Emessions warranty is 8yr/80k for the CAT convertor and the engine ECU only.
