Keeping your Audi in optimal condition requires regular maintenance and service. Understanding what type of service your vehicle requires and when it's due can ensure a smoother and safer drive. In this article, we will answer some of the most frequently asked questions about Audi maintenance and service.
When should I bring in my Audi vehicle for service?
Your Audi is scheduled for its first service appointment at 15,000 kilometers or 1 year after delivery, whichever comes first. This schedule may vary depending on vehicle usage and other circumstances. In case of severe conditions, such as extremely low or high temperatures, excessive dust, etc., certain operations may need to be carried out in between the given intervals. If you're unsure about when you should bring your Audi in for service or which services are to be performed on your vehicle, our team can help.
What type of service will be done on my Audi?
Audi provides two types of services: Minor Maintenance Service and Standard Maintenance Service.
The Minor Maintenance Service includes checks on the brake system, engine oil and oil filter replacement, and service reminder indicator display reset. This service is scheduled first at 15,000 km or 1 year after delivery, whichever comes first, and thereafter, every 30,000 km or two years, whichever comes first.
The Standard Maintenance Service includes all minor maintenance items along with a detailed check of the body/chassis, brake system, charging cable and socket (for e-tron models), convertible top (for applicable models), engine cooling system, exterior lighting function, and more. This service is scheduled first at 30,000 km or two years after delivery, whichever occurs first.
Do Electric Vehicles have different service intervals?
No, the service interval for an Audi e-tron, e-tron GT, or Q4 e-tron is the same. However, electric vehicles have different components than traditional gas-powered vehicles, so the elements serviced at each interval differ. For instance, an electric vehicle's maintenance schedule includes checks on the brake system, charging cable and socket, the health of the connected box/OCU battery, and coolant level checks for the electrical components cooling system, among other items. Additional maintenance items specific to electric vehicles include changing brake fluid every 2 years regardless of kilometers, replacing the dust and pollen filter every 30,000 km or 2 years, and replacing the coolant cartridge in the rear axle drive every 30,000 km or 2 years, applicable to certain models.
Do I need to service my Audi at a dealership?
Audi recommends bringing your vehicle to an Audi dealership for service. Audi dealerships like Audi Winnipeg are equipped with specialized tools and trained specialists to ensure repairs are performed to the highest specifications.
