Maintenance
General
Your vehicle has been designed to help keep
maintenance requirements to a minimum. How­
ever, a
certain amount of regular maintenance is
still necessary to assure your vehicle's safety,
economy and reliability. For detailed vehicle
maintenance consult your Warranty & Mainte­
nance booklet.
Under difficult operating conditions, for exam­
ple
at extremely low outside temperatures, in
very dusty regions, etc., some service work
should be performed between the intervals speci­
fied. This
applies particularly to:
- oil
changes, and
- cleaning or replac ing the a ir filte r.
~ For the sake of the environment
By reg ularly maintaining your vehicle, you
help
make sure that emission standards are
maintained, thus minimizing adverse effects
on the environment.
Important considerations for you and your
vehicle
The increasing use of electronics, sophisticated
fuel injec tion and emission control systems, and
the generally increasing technical complexity of
today's automobiles, have steadily reduced the ~

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine scope of maintenance and repairs which can be
carried
out by vehicle owners. Also, safety and
e n viro n
mental concerns place very strict limits
on the nature of repairs and adjustments to en­
gine and transmission parts which an owner can
perform.
Maintenance,
adjustments and repairs usually re­
quire special tools, testing devices and other
equipment available to specially trained work­
shop personnel in order to assure proper per­
formance, reliability and safety of the vehicle and
its many systems.
Improper maintenance, adjustments and repairs
can impair the operation and reliability of your
vehicle and even void your vehicle warranty.
Therefore, proof of servicing in accordance w ith
the maintenance schedule may be a condition for
upholding a possible
warranty claim made within
the warranty period.
Above all,
operational safety can be adversely af­
fected, creating unnecessary risks for you and
your passengers.
If in doubt about any ser vicing, have it done by
your authorized Audi dealer or any other properly
equipped and qualified workshop. We strongly
urge you to give your authorized Audi dealer the
opportunity to perform all scheduled main te­
nance
and necessary repairs. Your dealer has the
facilities, original parts and trained specialists to
keep your vehicle running properly.
Performing limited maintenance yourself
The follow ing pages describe a limited number of
procedures which can be performed on your vehi­
cle with ordinary
tools, should the need arise and
trained personnel be unavailable. Before per­
forming any of these procedures, always thor­
oughly read all of the applicable text and careful­
ly follow the instructions given. Always rigorously
observe the WARNINGS provided .
Before you check anything in the e ngine com ­
partment , always read and heed all WARNINGS
