How to Maintain an Audi A4?

Check for rust or signs of disassembly on the vehicle's screws. Press the buttons or turn the knobs. If most buttons and knobs feel sticky or have rebound resistance, it is due to sand and mud affecting the reset after water immersion.
My car is an Audi A4, which I've driven for over three years with diligent maintenance. I usually change the engine oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles using full synthetic oil to protect the engine. The air filter gets replaced every 15,000 miles as excessive dust noticeably reduces power. Rotate the tires every 10,000 miles to ensure even wear, and don't forget to check tire pressure monthly. Have the brake system professionally inspected, with brake fluid replaced every two years to ensure braking safety. Coolant should also be changed every two years for optimal antifreeze performance in winter. Battery life is relatively short; test voltage every three years to prevent unexpected breakdowns. Given Audi's complex electronic systems, it's advisable to visit the dealership annually for fault code scanning to prevent minor issues from escalating. Learning basic DIY oil changes saves money, but leave brake and electronic work to professionals. Develop this habit: check fluid levels and warning lights at every refueling – spending a little on prevention saves major repair costs. Safety first.
