Audi Maintenance Procedures - Common Additional Services
The air filter accumulates dust and debris and should be replaced to protect the engine and maximize fuel economy. For optimal engine performance and longevity, replace every 1 year or 15,000 miles.
Automatic transmission fluid becomes heat fatigued and accumulates moisture over time which can lead to automatic transmission damage if not serviced regularly. It should be replaced every 2 years or 30,000 miles.
Over time the Cabin Filter(s) will accumulate dirt, pollen and debris which can leak in to the passenger compartment if left unchecked. They should be replaced every year or 15,000 miles.
Engine coolant breaks down, gets rusty and becomes contaminated with debris from component wear over time and can cause engine or cooling system damage if not replaced every 2 years or 30,0000 miles.
Drive belts crack and become glazed over time and can squeak or even break. They should be replaced every 45,000 miles.
The Fuel Filter becomes restricted as it accumulates debris from filtering the fuel which, can lead to performance problems and early fuel pump failure. It should be replaced at the mileage interval recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
It is important to rotate the tires from front to rear every 5000-7500 miles so that they wear evenly. This may not be possible on some vehicles because of directional tread design or rim size differences.
Spark Plug terminals wear down over time and can lead to engine misfires and increased exhaust emissions. Replace according to the vehicle manufacturers recommended replacement interval.

I am in the process of getting a 2002 Audi A4, 5 speed Quattro at 119,980. I’m a college student don’t plan to drive that much, do you think this is a safe move.

Well I was driving to school today I noticed that the battery light came on the dash...and to my surprise the power steering starting failing. I did my research and discovered that the V-belt was the cause. Question? Is the V-belt one of the items that I should definitely have the dealer work on or is this something I can skimp and have it done for less. What is the average price for a V-belt change (dealer vs. indie)? And how much time do I have before my care completely stops operating du... |

$2800 is the estimate for new rebuilt transmission that blew the other day. what are some major repairs that could happen outside of this on the car? need to decide if i should fix or not. if the transmission is fixed at 109K miles, might the car last another 1-2 years? mechanic full estimate for this and other repairs is around $4K. (two new tires, a pump that has a leak, spark plugs and some other things) is it worth the investment?
