Servicing tailored to your needs
Regular
servicing is key to safeguarding your
Audi’s performance and a full Audi service
history could help you preserve the future
re-sale value. To make servicing easy, the
Audi Service Schedules have been designed
to work with your individual driving style
and
vehicle.
There
are two schedules available and your
Audi Centre will advise which schedule is
most suited to your needs. The conventional
fixed Audi Inspection Service Schedule
has fixed intervals for the Oil-change and
Inspection Service that are based on time and
distance, whichever comes first. With
the Audi LongLife Service Schedule, sensors
take account of driving style and conditions
in which the vehicle is used to indicate
when the Oil-change Service is required.
Oil-change Service intervals are therefore
variable and are conveniently indicated via
the on-board service interval display.
