Audi A6 requires an engine oil maintenance when the driving mileage reaches 15,000 kilometers, and a brake fluid replacement maintenance when the driving mileage exceeds 30,000 kilometers. Additional details are as follows: 1. Vehicle maintenance areas: Vehicles need regular maintenance, which refers to the preventive work of inspecting, cleaning, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing related parts of the vehicle on a regular basis. This mainly includes the maintenance scope of the engine system, transmission system, cooling system, etc. Through maintenance, the vehicle can maintain a clean and normal technical condition, eliminate potential safety hazards, and extend the vehicle's service life. 2. Vehicle maintenance content: Vehicle maintenance mostly includes minor maintenance and major maintenance. Minor maintenance refers to some routine maintenance items performed after the vehicle has been driven a certain distance to ensure its performance. Major maintenance is performed when the vehicle reaches a specified mileage, including the replacement of engine oil, engine oil filter, gasoline filter, etc.

My 2020 Audi A6 has been running for almost three years, and the maintenance checklist is posted inside the glove box. The first service is due at 10,000 km or 12 months, mainly involving an oil and filter change, along with basic checks like tire pressure and brakes. After that, regular maintenance is required every 10,000 km, with oil and filter changes being mandatory. The cabin air filter and engine air filter should be replaced every 20,000 km to prevent odors inside the car. Brake fluid needs to be changed every two years, and spark plugs at 60,000 km. I pay special attention to the transmission fluid maintenance—it must be replaced at 80,000 km without delay. Every time I visit the dealership, they also rotate the tires and inspect the chassis and suspension. Finally, it’s advisable to adjust the schedule based on actual usage. For example, in humid southern climates, you might want to replace the air filter earlier.

As an Audi technician with 10 years of experience, the 2020 A6 maintenance schedule is quite standardized. The first service is due at 10,000 km (whichever comes first), where engine oil and oil filter must be replaced. Subsequent basic maintenance every 10,000 km includes fluid inspection, chassis examination, and computer fault scanning. It's recommended to replace both cabin air filters at 20,000 km to prevent AC odors. Brake fluid moisture content should be checked at 30,000 km. The entire spark plug set must be replaced at 60,000 km - this is particularly crucial as Audi engines' high compression ratio can easily damage spark plugs. While the transmission fluid is labeled 'lifetime maintenance-free' in the manual, I strongly advise replacement at 80,000 km, having witnessed numerous transmission failures due to neglected changes. During major services, remember to perform wheel alignment and thorough brake system inspections.

Just reviewed my 2020 A6 maintenance manual yesterday. There are two types of service intervals: by mileage or time, whichever comes first. The first service is due after 10,000 km, followed by every 10,000 km, including basic services like oil and filter changes. The air filter is recommended to be replaced every 30,000 km, but I change mine every 20,000 km due to heavy sand and dust in the north. The cabin air filter is officially suggested to be replaced every 20,000 km, but it's better to do it earlier, especially if passengers have rhinitis. Brake fluid should be replaced for the first time after 3 years, then every 2 years. Spark plugs must be completely renewed at 60,000 km. I rotate my tires every 15,000 km to extend their lifespan. Regularly checking the brake disc thickness is also crucial.

Does a motor vehicle receive penalty points for violating a prohibition sign?

Yes, penalty points are given. If you see a prohibition sign while driving and still enter the area inside the outer ring road, it is called violating the instructions of the prohibition sign, resulting in a deduction of 3 points. Introduction to prohibition signs: Prohibition signs are signs that prohibit or restrict the traffic behavior of vehicles and pedestrians. Their shape is usually circular, with some being octagonal or equilateral triangles with the vertex pointing downward. Their color is usually white background, red circle, red diagonal bar, and black pattern. Function of prohibition signs: The sign prohibiting motor vehicle entry is one of the no-entry signs, indicating that all types of motor vehicles are prohibited from entering. This sign is placed at the entrance of the road section where motor vehicle traffic is prohibited.

Can I Deduct Another 6 Points After Having 6 Points Deducted Through Traffic Law Study?

After having 6 points deducted through traffic law study, you cannot obtain additional point deductions through this method. Relevant regulations: According to the rules of point deduction through traffic law study, drivers can accumulate a maximum deduction of 6 points in the current scoring cycle. After deducting 6 points, you must wait until the next scoring cycle to reapply. Accumulating 12 points: According to platform rules, if a driver has two or more full-point records in the current or previous scoring cycle, or has accumulated 12 points, they cannot apply for point deduction through traffic law study. If a driver deducts 6 points through traffic law study and then gets another 6 points deducted, they cannot apply again in the next scoring cycle.

What are the symptoms of a faulty clutch pump?

It may cause the clutch pedal to not disengage properly or become excessively heavy when pressed, especially during gear shifting. You may experience difficulty in shifting gears, incomplete disengagement, and occasional oil leakage from the slave cylinder. Once the clutch slave cylinder fails, it will most likely require replacement of the entire assembly. Introduction to the clutch pump: The clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder function as two hydraulic cylinders. Working principle of the clutch pump: The master cylinder has two oil pipes, while the slave cylinder has only one. When the clutch pedal is depressed, pressure from the master cylinder is transmitted to the slave cylinder, which then activates. The release fork separates the clutch pressure plate and disc from the flywheel, allowing gear shifting to occur. When the clutch pedal is released, the slave cylinder stops working, allowing the clutch pressure plate and disc to re-engage with the flywheel, thus continuing power transmission. The oil in the slave cylinder then flows back into the reservoir.

Will Lead-Acid Batteries Reduce Mileage in Winter?

Lead-acid batteries will reduce mileage in winter. Lower temperatures in winter can affect the driving range, but the exact amount of mileage reduction depends on factors such as temperature and usage habits. Below are the relationship between range and temperature and the reasons for the range reduction: Relationship between range and temperature: Generally, for every degree drop in temperature, the battery's capacity decreases by about 1%, leading to a corresponding reduction in range. The specific mileage reduction can be calculated based on the data displayed by the vehicle's onboard computer. Reasons for reduced range in low temperatures: The lower the temperature, the harder it is for the electrolyte in the battery to diffuse, and the slower the chemical reaction rate of the active materials at both electrodes becomes, resulting in a drop in battery voltage.

What is the correct procedure for jump-starting a car?

The correct procedure for jump-starting a car is: Park both vehicles facing each other and prepare two jumper cables. Open the hoods and connect the positive and negative terminals of both car batteries using the jumper cables—red to positive and black to negative. Start the rescue vehicle and let its engine idle. Attempt to start the stalled vehicle. If the battery is dead, the car should start quickly, and the alternator will begin charging the battery. Precautions for jump-starting: Before connecting the cables, ensure the engine is turned off. Follow the connection steps strictly: connect the positive terminal first, then the negative, and ensure the positive and negative terminals of both cars do not touch. The disconnection sequence is the reverse of the connection sequence—remove the negative cable first, then the positive. When purchasing jumper cables, choose genuine, quality-assured products. Opt for cables with an outer diameter of at least 10mm and a length of around 3 meters.

Can Temporary License Plates Be Used Across Restricted Zones?

Temporary license plates are restricted to designated zones and cannot be used across zones. New vehicles using temporary plates must not exceed 15 days, and owners should promptly apply for official license plates from the vehicle management authority. Introduction to Temporary License Plates: Automobile temporary license plates refer to provisional vehicle movement permits issued by the public security vehicle management department before formal registration due to pending procedures. Penalties for Using Non-Cross-Zone Temporary Plates Beyond Designated Areas: There are two types of temporary plates: one is restricted to the local jurisdiction, while the other allows inter-provincial travel. Using blue-background temporary plates beyond designated zones may result in vehicle impoundment, fines, and a 12-point deduction. Brown temporary plates, however, permit cross-zone travel.
