I took my car to a shop and they said they won't work on it because it is a twin turbo. All I wanted done was to winterize it and get a convenient oil change. So now I have to take it to the dealership or winterize it my self. I think I'm going to go the less $$ route and do it myself. Any tips on how to winterize my car?

 

Find another indie that works on Audis/ foreign cars. If you DIY, some tips:

>good oil (synthetic ?) / filter
>check/ top up all fluids: brake; hydralic oil (green cap); test coolant for
correct freeze point (if in colder area)
>check all outside lights, tire pressure, and spare tire.
>check brakes, lube/ free up the slider pins.
>check battery, make sure it holds a charge, if it's old, may need replacing
before it leaves you stranded in the winter
-wiper blades, if over a year old, need replacing, try winter blades
-check tires, will they get you through the winter

just my $ 0.02 worth.

 

Not to steal this thread, i dont know of any "winter" blades. If this isnt true please direct me to where i could find them.

 

Yes, we have "winter wiper blades" up here in Ontario, Canada. The snow and ice clogs up the steel frame blades and the wipers start to miss cleaning the windshield, you can't see squat.
The winter blades I bought, at any parts store,have a rubber cover so no metal is showing, and they work a lot better in snow/ice and low temps.
