Audi Official Factory Service Manuals and Litera ­

Maintenance
General '
Your vehicle has been designed to help keep
maintenance requirements to a min imum. How­
ever, a certain amount of regular maintenance is
still necessary to assure your vehicle's safety,
economy and reliability . For detailed vehicle
maintena nce consult your Warranty & Mainte­
nance booklet .
Under difficult operating conditions, for exam ­
ple at extremely low outside temperatures, in
very dusty regions, etc., some se rvice work
should be performed between the intervals speci­
fied. This applies particularly to:
- oil changes, and
- cleaning or replac ing the a ir filter .
@ For the sake of the environment
By regularly maintaining your vehicle, you
help make sure that emission standards are
maintained, thus min imizing adverse effects
on the environment.
Important considerations for you and your
vehicle
The increas ing use of elect ronics, soph istica ted
fuel injection and emission control systems, and
the genera lly increasing technica l complexity of
today's automobiles, have stead ily reduced the ..,_

scope of maintenance and repairs which can be
carried out by vehicle owners.
Also, safet y and
en vir onm enta l
concerns place very strict limits
on the nature of repairs and adjustments to en ­
g ine and transm ission parts wh ich an owner c an
perform .
Maintenance, adjustments and repairs usually re ­
qu ire special tools, test ing devices and other
equ ipment available to specially trained work­
shop perso nnel i n order to assure proper per ­
forma nce, re liability and safety of the ve hicle and
i ts many systems.
Improper maintenance, adjustments and repairs
can impair the operation and reliability of your
vehicle and even void your veh icle warranty.
Therefore, proof of se rvicing in accordance with
the ma intenance sc hedule may be a condition for
upho ld ing a possib le wa rranty claim made wi thin
the warranty pe riod.
Above all , operational safety can be adversely af­
fected, creating unnecessa ry risks fo r you and
your p assengers.
If in doubt about any se rvicing, have it done by
your author ized Audi dealer or any other properly
eq uipped and qua lified workshop. We strongly
urge yo u to g ive your author ized Audi dealer the
opport unity to perform a ll scheduled ma inte­
nance and necessary repairs . Your dealer has the
facilities, origina l parts and trained specialists to
keep your veh icle running properly .
Performing limited maintenance yourself
The follow ing pages des cribe a lim ited number of
p rocedures w hich can be per formed o n your veh i­
cle with ordinary tools, should the need arise and
trained personnel be unavailable . Before per­
forming any of these procedures, always thor­
ough ly read a ll of the app licab le text and carefu l­
ly follow the instructions g iven . Always rigorously
observe the
WARNING S provided .
Before you check anything in the engine com ·
partment , always read and heed all WARNINGS

ment on page 203.
