If you\u2019re an Audi car owner, you don\u2019t need us telling you what superb vehicles they are. Most likely you knew that before you bought it. Most likely it\u2019s the reason why you bought it. Loving it as you no doubt do, you\u2019re determined to take care of it properly. Audis are premium cars; they cost more than many others on the road (for good reason), and you want to make sure yours is kept in good nick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to proper Audi care, there are routine things you should be doing, and routine things that a mechanic should be doing. As you\u2019ll see, these \u2018things\u2019 aren\u2019t necessarily expensive; instead, they go a long way to reducing the chance of steep service bills that arise from neglect and ill management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treat your Audi right, and it will be your premium, faithful and uncomplaining luxury steed for many years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How you can take care of your Audi<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wash it<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping your Audi spick and span doesn\u2019t just highlight its beautiful lines; it keeps its paint job in optimum condition and protects it from fading and peeling. The outside world harbours many nasty substances longing to eat away at your Audi\u2019s exterior, like tree sap, bird poo and possum urine. As soon as you notice any blemishes, make an effort to clean them off straight away. If you can, avoid parking under trees and consider investing in a car cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the tread<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Audi\u2019s tyres keep it glued to the road. Yes, Audis have great handling and quality brakes, but those attributes are completely nullified if the tyres\u2019 tread isn\u2019t up to the job. It doesn\u2019t take much to get on your knees once a month and run a finger along the tread depth indicators. If they\u2019re flush with the tread wall, it\u2019s time for a new set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warm the engine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone is in such a rush these days that engines are hardly ever given enough time to warm up. Oil protects vital parts by coating and lubricating them. When oil is cold, it\u2019s thicker and can\u2019t coat your engine\u2019s parts effectively. In the morning, turn the engine on and sit for a moment as the oil warms and lubricates all those mechanical, moving parts. It doesn\u2019t take long, just a minute or two is all it takes. Do the Wordle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heed warning lights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Audis are intelligent cars; they often know something\u2019s wrong before we do. They communicate this to us through a series of lights on the dashboard, which flash or burn orange or red dependant on how emergent the problem is. Ignore these lights at your peril. They tell of possible issues with the brakes, suspension, gearbox and clutch, power steering, the engine in general, and so on. There\u2019s even a light to tell you it\u2019s time for a service, which brings us to\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The engine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regular servicing is perhaps the most vital aspect of proper Audi care. A well-trained technician with access to the latest technology and tools can pick up on potential issues before they start causing problems. Here are some of the routine things we\u2019ll do during a minor service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
