My wife has been gifted an A4 quattro 2009 and naturally as I always do I join the relevant forums to glean knowledge from the experts.
The car seems to have a good service history though the car is unaware of Covid and due to this fact the service has slipped.
It was showing 14.4k miles since last oil change so I reset that and now shows 9.1k miles to next oil change I make 14.4 plus
9.1 to be 23.5k.. Now I thought the oil change interval was 19k or 2 years? Is it advisable to stick to long life oil ? Plus I have a message saying drain oil? Car is running a tad lumpy so thought I would change the spark plugs
as a precaution. Now at some time in the past 3 of the 4 clips on the coil pack connectors have been snapped off, all Audi servicing so not a good advert for them. I can still remove 2 of the these 3
but one is proving very hard, nay impossible to remove. Can these bits be obtained as spares?
And finally the service book states replace the toothed belt, I am assuming cambelt at 114K, which looks a lot to me though for some reason this vehicle had it done at 30K
And finally finally are there any recommendations as to makes of service parts or are all much of a likeness. I generally use Mann filters but I see the fuel filter if only available from a very few makes.
Thats all for now . Thanks
