Welcome from another relative newb.

Manual states 40K miles. I'm at 43K miles on my original plugs and will probably wait for 50K to do the change, but not much longer.
 
From what I know at 40k miles you have to change the ff:
-spark plugs
-ignition coils x4
-gear oil
-air filter
-cabin filter
I wouldn't change the Ignition coils unless one is bad. My Wifes GMC said to change them at 100k. Never did. We just changed the plugs. No point in wasting that money.
 
all vw fsi tsi tfsi engines specify 60k spark plug service intervals. i am from your local stealership. so save your money until 60k. i have never seen a need to replace the plugs prior to this interval on any of the direct injected engines i work on.
 
I just changed my coils to the new A version. The 2012s came with the new ones, but the 2011s may have received the shaftaroonie.

The answer to your next question is... no, I do not know what the difference between the A and non-A versions is. I just know that the A version is newer. :)

If you don't know the difference, how do know 2011 got shafted. For all you know the new ones might be cheaper to save costs.
