Audi Maintenance Procedures - Common Additional Services

Audi Air Filter Replacement

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.

Audi Cabin Air Filter Replacement

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.

Audi Drive Belt(s) Replacement

Drive belts crack and become glazed over time and can squeak or even break. They should be replaced every 45,000 miles.

Audi Rotate Tires

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.

Audi Scheduled Maintenance Parts

In order to run, the engine needs a precise mixture of fuel and air. When outside air is drawn into the engine, the air filter prevents harmful dirt and debris from entering the system.
Automatic transmission fluid is a lightweight oil that is used to operate the hydraulic mechanisms in an automatic transmission, provide lubrication, and act as a coolant for the transmission. When new, it's usually a cranberry red color.
Brake fluid is a specially formulated fluid that transmits the pressure generated by the master cylinder to the calipers and/or wheel cylinders when the brake pedal is pressed. 
The cabin air filter prevents dust, pollen, and other debris from entering the passenger compartment through the climate control (HVAC) system.
Engine oil provides lubrication for all internal moving parts of an engine. It also helps conduct heat away from these components.
The oil drain plug gasket seals the oil drain plug where it connects to the oil pan.
The engine oil filter removes contaminants from the engine oil before it circulates throughout the engine.
The spark plug uses the energy produced by the ignition coil to generate the spark necessary to ignite the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. The platinum/iridium spark plug uses harder metals on the electrodes, which increases their life to over 100,000 miles in most applications.

2001 Audi A4 Quattro

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...
