Maintenance items include engine oil and oil filter, air filter, external cabin air filter, and spark plugs. The fuel filter should be inspected during each maintenance service and replaced if necessary. Relevant information about car maintenance is as follows: 1. Introduction: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. 2. Maintenance scope: Modern car maintenance mainly includes the maintenance of the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc.

I just had my Audi serviced at the 20,000 km mark, which is considered a minor maintenance. The main tasks were changing the engine oil and oil filter, as the oil gets dirty over time and needs replacement to ensure smooth engine operation. The air filter was also replaced since a dirty one affects air intake, making the car less powerful and more fuel-consuming. Don't forget to change the cabin air filter for cleaner air inside the car, making driving more comfortable. Check the tire wear and pressure, and rotate the tires to extend their lifespan; otherwise, uneven wear can cause alignment issues. The braking system requires careful inspection—replace worn brake pads and top up the brake fluid if low, as safety should never be compromised. Inspect the lights and wipers to prevent nighttime driving hazards. Given Audi's high precision, it's recommended to visit an authorized dealership for a full vehicle computer diagnosis, along with checking the battery and drivetrain. Spending a little now can save big on future repairs. Remember, regular maintenance preserves your warranty and keeps your car running well for years.

I take my Audi for maintenance at 20,000 kilometers, with the core tasks being oil and oil filter replacement—skipping these would accelerate engine wear and reduce power. Installing a new air filter ensures cleaner airflow for smoother acceleration. The cabin air filter should also be replaced to prevent dust buildup and unpleasant odors. Rotating tires balances tread wear, while checking pressure maintains stable handling. The braking system requires thorough inspection—proper pad thickness and fluid levels guarantee responsive stops and highway safety. Also, monitor fluid levels like coolant and windshield washer, topping up when low. A full lighting system check ensures clear nighttime visibility. Given Audi's complex electronics, dealerships typically perform complimentary basic scans to prevent fault code accumulation. These routine items are non-negotiable—timely maintenance optimizes fuel efficiency, reduces noise, and enhances driving comfort.

I usually pay great attention to maintenance. The first thing I do with my Audi at 20,000 kilometers is to change the engine oil and oil filter, as dirty engine oil can shorten its lifespan. Replacing the air filter keeps the intake clean, and changing the cabin air filter avoids odors and keeps things healthy. Check the tires for any damage or uneven wear, and rotate them to extend their life and save money. Measure the wear on the brake pads and top up the fluid levels to ensure safety. Check if the lights are working properly, as poor visibility affects driving. Doing these things regularly can prevent costly major repairs. Audi has strict requirements, so don’t skip the maintenance schedule.

What are the symptoms of a damaged car exhaust valve?

Exhaust valve damage can cause the engine to shake or even stall during idle. The specific effects are as follows: Effects of exhaust valve damage: It will be unable to control the amount of exhaust gas recirculation. Excessive exhaust gas participating in recirculation will affect the mixture concentration, potentially leading to difficulties in starting, engine shaking, unstable idle, weak acceleration, and other phenomena that impact engine performance. Function of the exhaust valve: The exhaust valve serves to separate oil and gas. When functioning properly, it only draws in exhaust gas and not oil. If the exhaust valve is damaged, it loses its oil-gas separation capability, potentially sucking in oil along with air. This can cause oil to enter the combustion chamber, resulting in oil burning and blue smoke emission.

Should You Press the Clutch During Intermittent Braking in Subject 3?

No, it's not necessary. You only need to lightly press the brake pedal, and generally, there's no need to press the clutch. For example, when passing through intersections or when the speed is slightly high, intermittent braking is sufficient. First, approach it without any psychological pressure and maintain a calm mindset. It's recommended to familiarize yourself with the road by taking a test drive before the exam. Being able to drive doesn't guarantee passing the road test, so knowing the road conditions and necessary precautions is always better than not knowing. Below is relevant information: Intermittent braking: First, press the brake slightly. When you feel the car decelerating noticeably, release the brake (but not completely). When you feel the car is about to lose braking control, press the brake again. Repeat this cycle. The intermittent braking technique is used to avoid locking the wheels by not pressing the brake too hard, which could prevent steering. Exam content: The Subject 3 road driving skills test includes: preparation for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed cargo trucks, and small automatic transmission cars for disabled passengers. The test covers preparation before starting, simulated nighttime lighting test, starting, driving straight, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, parking by the roadside, going straight through intersections, left turns at intersections, etc.

How to Prepare Windshield Washer Fluid?

Below are two different preparation methods according to seasonal climates: Spring: With frequent rain and heavy windblown sand, the windshield gets dirty easily. The primary function of the washer fluid during this season is cleaning. First, prepare a clean 2.5L plastic bottle. Mix 2L of purified water, 250ml of 95% medical-grade alcohol, and 1-2 caps of high-quality detergent thoroughly before use. The detergent helps remove sand and dirt as its foam quickly eliminates mud, but avoid excessive amounts as it becomes difficult to rinse off. The alcohol accelerates water evaporation, ensuring the windshield dries quickly. Summer/Fall: Rain may not cause severe dirt buildup, but insect impacts on the windshield are harder to clean with plain water due to stubborn insect residue. Thus, more solvent is needed. Similarly, use a 2.5L plastic bottle with 2L purified water, 500ml of 95% medical-grade alcohol, and 1 cap of detergent.

What Causes the Car Malfunction Indicator Light to Illuminate?

Car malfunction indicator light illuminates primarily due to: 1. Substandard exhaust emissions: Issues such as poor fuel quality, failed catalytic converter, excessive carbon buildup in the intake manifold, clogged fuel injectors, malfunctioning oxygen sensors, or occasional engine misfires can trigger the engine warning light. Among these, poor fuel quality is the most common cause. 2. Poor engine system performance: Faults or poor electrical connections in components like the throttle pedal sensor, throttle position sensor, mass airflow sensor, or crankshaft position sensor can also activate the engine warning light. 3. Transmission system faults in some vehicles: Internal transmission failures, slippage, or overheating may contribute to this issue.

Can You Add Antifreeze Randomly When It's Low?

You cannot add antifreeze randomly when it's low. Here are the points to note when adding antifreeze: 1. Pay attention to the model and brand of the coolant. Mixing different brands, models, or dosages may affect its performance. 2. Do not open the radiator immediately after turning off the engine. The coolant temperature is still high right after shutdown, and the radiator contains high-pressure gas. Opening the radiator cap at this time may release hot steam, which can easily scald your hands or face. 3. Generally, the radiator is marked with 'MAX' (maximum) and 'MIN' (minimum) levels. When adding antifreeze, ensure it does not exceed the 'MAX' level.
