First Service
Hi Everyone,
I decided to go ahead and do the first service on my first Audi A4 on my own; I bought the car about a week and a half ago. I wanted to get some guidance from you guys on the main things I should concentrate on as a first service - the car has 57k miles on it and it is an '03 1.8T. If possible, can you let me know brands of fluids and filters and any other parts you most recommend. Any help would be great. Thanks |
RE: First Service
Here ya go:
http://www.bentleypublishers.com/ima...ance.sched.pdf Use mobile one 0w40 for your turbo, it likes that stuff. make sure you get the newer, larger style oil filter (Mann) Change or clean air filter depending what you have, Lubricate your roof rails. Inspect everything else. |
RE: First Service
Thanks ace - any recommendation on sparkplugs or shluld I hold off on those till higher mileage.

RE: First Service
When were they last changed?
Audi reccomends changing them every 40k, so if they are 40k or older, go ahead and change them. Otherwise you should get 40-50k out of them since they were last changed. |
RE: First Service
Don't knwo when they were changed so I'm opting to change them anyhow - Any recommendations on brand? Platinum vs. Iridium? and so forth? Thanks

RE: First Service
I would just go OEM, but I have not had to do this yet so I dont know what to reccomend for you.
A quick search should help ya. Its at the bottom of the main A4 page. |
RE: First Service
Thanks ace - found a very good thread on it. Take it easy - thanks again
