I've got an S4, so maintenance is a bit more expensive (takes about twice as much oil, brakes are bigger and more aggressive so therefore more expensive, has 8 spark plugs/coil packs instead of 4), but in the last 2 years I've spent the following:
-Blown motor mounts- $250 (I don't think blown mounts on an A4 are common)
-Oil changes- do it myself, $90 a pop in oil/filter
-Transmission fluid change- $40 in fluid, $50 in labor
-Fuel filter change- $40 for the filter, $50 in labor
-Spark plugs- $90 in parts, did it myself
Transmission fluid/Fuel filter/spark plugs will probably only ever be done 2 or 3 times in the life of the car, so not every year kind of things unless you drive a ton.
When stuff breaks, if you have the luxury of waiting to fix it parts can be had for a massive discount online. I always buy my own parts and take them to the shop when necessary.
TuneDub is a GREAT shop for VW/Audi work.
