How often should the Audi A3 be serviced?
1 Answers
The Audi A3 should be serviced every 10,000 kilometers as per the maintenance manual. If using regular engine oil, it is recommended to service every 5,000 kilometers. Maintenance precautions are as follows: Check body seals: After spring arrives, some areas experience more sand and dust storms. Therefore, it is important to ensure proper body sealing by checking the sealing strips around doors and windows for signs of aging, detachment, or damage. Timely checks can prevent dust from entering the car due to poor sealing. Adjust tire pressure: During winter, due to lower temperatures, car tire pressure is often set higher. As spring arrives and temperatures rise, tire pressure should be adjusted accordingly. Additionally, check for any cuts or cracks in the tires and repair them promptly if found. Clean the air filter and cabin air filter: Rainy weather can lead to poor air quality, so it is essential to clean the air filter and cabin air filter regularly. Neglecting the air filter can result in excessive dirt buildup, affecting the engine's lifespan. Similarly, a dirty cabin air filter can impair the air conditioning system's performance. Therefore, during rainy seasons, clean both filters promptly. If any odors are detected, replace the cabin air filter. It is recommended to inspect the air filter every 2,000 kilometers in spring.
