The first maintenance generally involves a simple oil and oil filter change, followed by a comprehensive vehicle inspection. If everything is normal, there are no other items that need to be replaced. The first maintenance of a new car must include inspection and replacement of six parts: 1. Oil and oil filter must be replaced, and the air filter must be cleaned; 2. Check whether the coolant level is normal; 3. Inspect the car's brakes and undercarriage components for any scratches; 4. Check the power steering fluid level and whether there are any oil leaks at the oil pipe connections; 5. Inspect the generator, air conditioning, water pump, and the aging and tension of the belts; 6. Check the tire pressure and wear condition, and perform tire rotation if there is wear.

The first maintenance items mainly include changing the engine oil and filter, which can remove debris generated during engine break-in and protect internal components; checking tire pressure to ensure stability and fuel efficiency, preventing instability at high speeds; testing the brake system to see if the pads and fluid are normal, avoiding unexpected skidding; inspecting coolant levels and battery condition to prevent overheating or startup failure. New cars have an adaptation period, and these checks can uncover potential issues. For example, during my last first maintenance, a small bulge was found on a tire, and early repair prevented the risk of a blowout. Don’t skip it to save money, as minor issues can turn into major repairs later, costing more. It’s recommended to keep regular records for easier warranty claims.

The focus of the first maintenance is basic upkeep, such as changing the engine oil to maintain efficient lubrication, replacing the air filter to prevent dust ingress, checking lights and horns to ensure visibility and safety, and measuring brake discs to confirm even wear. As part of daily driving experience, these simple steps can extend the vehicle's lifespan. I've encountered instances where battery checks followed by fluid top-up prevented the embarrassment of a roadside breakdown. It's advisable to discuss details with technicians based on your usage habits, like paying extra attention to the cooling system in congested urban areas, to avoid small issues accumulating into major problems.

The first maintenance includes replacing the oil filter, cleaning the engine, checking tire balance to prevent uneven wear, inspecting brake response to avoid lag, and adjusting the computer to adapt to driving modes. This is because new car components have break-in residues, and timely cleaning prevents premature aging. I've tried different models, and the first maintenance can optimize performance, such as software updates improving fuel efficiency. Remember to note the mileage and don't delay.

I just had my first maintenance service, which included oil change, filter replacement, tire pressure check, brake test, and fluid level confirmation. New car components need time to adapt during the early stages, so timely maintenance is essential to prevent problem accumulation. Once I forgot, and the engine noise increased, resulting in higher repair costs. Developing a maintenance record habit saves money and hassle.

Can You Drive with 0.4 bar Tire Pressure?

You should not drive with 0.4 bar tire pressure. Modern vehicles are equipped with tire pressure monitoring systems, which typically trigger an alarm when the tire pressure drops below 1.5 bar. It is recommended not to let the pressure fall below this value, as the most severe consequence of low tire pressure is a blowout, which can be extremely dangerous. Hazards of Low Tire Pressure: Increased friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Heavier steering wheel and a tendency to veer off course, compromising driving safety; Excessive movement of tire components, causing abnormal heat buildup due to over-compression; Reduced functionality of the cord and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, as well as excessive friction between the tire and rim, resulting in damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; Multiplied friction between the tire and the ground, causing a rapid rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, and a sharp drop in strength. High-speed driving under such conditions may lead to a blowout; Increased deformation of the tire body, making the sidewalls prone to cracking. This also induces flexing motion, leading to excessive heat buildup, accelerated rubber aging, fatigue in the cord layers, and cord breakage. Additionally, it enlarges the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders.

What Does the Audi Oil Change Reminder Mean?

Audi oil change reminder indicates that the vehicle requires maintenance. Here are the specific details: Air Filter: During operation, the engine needs to intake a large amount of air. If the air is not filtered, dust in it can accelerate the wear of the piston group and cylinder. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can also cause severe cylinder scoring. The function of the air filter is to remove dust and particles from the air, ensuring that the cylinder receives sufficient and clean air. Fuel Filter: The fuel filter provides clean fuel to the engine by filtering out water and impurities from the gasoline. This optimizes engine performance and offers the best protection for the engine. During vehicle maintenance, technicians will perform additional inspections based on the vehicle's specific conditions and may include other maintenance items, such as inspection and cleaning of engine-related systems, tire alignment checks, and inspection of various fastening components.
