Maintaining A Modern Audi

The Audi brand offers a huge selection of vehicles of all types from big, imposing sport utility vehicles to small family cars. Some offer the legendary all-wheel drive system known as ‘quattro’ and all are at the forefront of modern prestige motoring. To make the manufacturing easier Audi use shared platforms, engines and technology, also making it easier for car servicing requirements.

Audi Servicing Requirements

These days, servicing garages, be they main dealerships or, for better value, local independent Audi specialists, can offer a bespoke service for each type of vehicle. It can be tailored to suit the level of maintenance needed for any given period, including wear and tear items. Options include service only, service and maintenance or those two plus tyres.

Although general maintenance is basically common to all cars, with the advent of Audi e-tron models and electrification generally plus the complexity of the otherwise very reliable all-wheel drive system where fitted, it is more essential than ever that an Audi vehicle be properly maintained. They are noted for their build quality and reliability and this can be assured by regular servicing.

Most car buyers today would be wary of any vehicle that did not have a full-service history; that’s why car servicing is so important; essential in fact for a car to hold its value.

Do Audi Cars Have Any Issues?

Because of their complexity all modern vehicles can have issues, but unlike models, say, from the last century, these glitches are likely to be connected to electronics and technology rather than mechanical. Audi cars are very well made and now include a wide range of dashboard warning lights to advise owners when problems do occur.

For example, if the engine light comes on but the car feels fine then the problem is likely to do with the strictly controlled emissions. There are a number of common reasons that can cause this situation and one of those is lack of proper maintenance. With diesel engines the catalytic converter may not be performing efficiently so the exhaust gasses are not being cleaned properly. It is better to attend to these matters sooner rather than later. Audi do offer a long warranty on ‘cats’ and, fortunately, any warranty issues can be attended to by an independent Audi specialist garage; it doesn’t have to be matter for a main dealer any more.

The Audi Reputation

Over time the Audi brand has remained one of the most popular car makers with buyers in the UK. It’s easy to see why. The car interiors are second to none in terms of finish, quality and comfort. Anyone who has driven the astonishing R8 sports car will praise the ride of this hardcore machine. With stylish designs and impressive technology, the range of models and fuel economy are certainly attractive to buyers.

These prestigious vehicles are often a big investment though but those on a lower budget can look at used models with confidence, always assuming they have a full service history. To get the best value and the most miles out of an Audi get it properly maintained by a specialist Audi servicing centre and enjoy luxury motoring.
