Audi A4L's 20,000-kilometer maintenance items: Replace the engine oil and three filters, also check whether the spark plugs need replacement, whether the throttle needs carbon deposit cleaning, and inspect the brakes and chassis. The 20,000-kilometer maintenance is usually the car's third maintenance. The regular items for the car's third maintenance include replacing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs, etc. The Audi A4L has a body length, width, and height of 4858mm, 1847mm, and 1439mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2908mm. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The maximum power of this engine is 110kW, and the maximum torque is 270Nm.

I just completed the 20,000 km maintenance for my Audi A4L, and the service was quite comprehensive. The engine oil and oil filter must be replaced, especially for German cars which have high requirements for oil quality—it's best to use the manufacturer-specified grade. The cabin air filter and engine air filter were also replaced. Since I did the maintenance in early summer, the air conditioning immediately became odor-free after the replacement. The spark plugs were a key focus; although there were no noticeable issues while driving, the mechanic insisted that turbocharged engines require mandatory replacement at 20,000 km to prevent ignition failures. Other checks included tire wear and pressure adjustment, brake pad thickness inspection, chassis bolt tightening, and brake fluid moisture content testing. Finally, the technician scanned for fault codes using the computer to confirm all vehicle systems were functioning properly. After the maintenance, remember to get the service checklist stamped—don’t miss any items during the warranty period.

What is the difference in tire sizes?

The differences in tire sizes can be summarized in two main aspects, as detailed below: 1. Distance variation: Larger tires cover more distance with each rotation of the connected drive shaft compared to smaller tires. Conversely, smaller tires cover less distance per rotation. 2. Traction difference: Larger tires have a greater contact area with the road surface, enhancing vehicle traction, while smaller tires have a smaller contact area, resulting in weaker traction. Automobile tires can be categorized into pneumatic tires and solid tires based on their structure. Most modern vehicles use pneumatic tires, which are further divided into high-pressure, low-pressure, and ultra-low-pressure tires based on internal air pressure. Low-pressure tires are commonly used across various vehicle types.

Can You Still Drive If Engine Oil Gets Into the Spark Plugs?

It is not recommended to continue driving if engine oil enters the spark plugs, as it can lead to difficulties in starting, poor acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and other issues. Immediate inspection and replacement of the spark plugs are necessary. Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the engine hood, remove the plastic cover of the engine, and detach the high-voltage distributor wires. Mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris like leaves or dust and ensure they are thoroughly cleaned. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten it further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage distributor wires according to the firing order, and then secure the cover. Methods to determine if a spark plug is damaged: Remove the spark plug and observe its condition based on the following appearance colors. A normal spark plug's insulator skirt and electrode should appear gray-white, gray-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug will have a reddish-brown insulator skirt, with an electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm and no signs of electrode burn. If the spark plug is contaminated with oil or deposits but is otherwise undamaged, it can be cleaned and reused. If the spark plug is severely damaged, showing signs like blistering, black streaks, cracks, or melted electrodes, the cause of the damage should be identified. After troubleshooting, replace the spark plug with a new one. Additionally, if the spark plug appears black as if smoked, it indicates the wrong heat range was selected or the air-fuel mixture is too rich, causing oil to rise.

Should a Bulging Tire Be Replaced or Repaired?

Tire bulging requires replacement, and the causes of tire bulging are as follows: 1. Excessive tire pressure can easily lead to blowouts and is more likely to cause bulging, while low pressure can result in direct impact between the rim and the ground, also causing bulging. Therefore, it is essential to drive at the appropriate tire pressure. Car owners can visit a shop to adjust the tire pressure or purchase a pressure gauge. 2. Poor road conditions can cause bulging. Driving on uneven roads accelerates tire wear, and frequent impacts with obstacles can easily lead to tire bulging. Therefore, try to avoid poor road conditions while driving. If unavoidable, reducing speed can help mitigate the issue.

What Causes High-Speed Vehicle Body Vibration?

High-speed vehicle body vibration can be attributed to the following 5 causes: 1. Incorrect front wheel alignment angles, excessive toe-in. 2. Low front tire pressure or tire imbalance caused by repairs or other factors. 3. Deformed front wheel rims or incorrect number of tire bolts. 4. Loose installation of transmission system components, bent drive shaft, power imbalance, or deformed front axle. 5. Failed shock absorbers or inconsistent stiffness of front leaf springs. When vibration occurs at higher speeds and causes steering wheel shake, you can first lift the drive axle and place safety blocks under the front wheels. Start the engine and gradually shift into higher gears.
