Your Audi is coming up on its 20,000-mile service, and you’ve heard that Audi maintenance gets bigger after the first visit. Before you book it in Melbourne, you want to know what’s in it and what it will cost.
It does. We recommend maintenance service every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever occurs first, and the visits alternate between minor and standard maintenance. Standard maintenance, first due at 20,000 miles or two years, adds more inspections and a few time-based items. Your model, model year, and mileage set the exact list.
Minor maintenance is the smaller yearly service, first due at 10,000 miles or one year after delivery, whichever comes first. It includes an oil and filter change, a check of the brake pad thickness, a multi-point inspection, and a reset of the service reminder display.
Standard maintenance comes every other year and includes everything in minor maintenance plus a wider set of checks. Those cover the tires and tread depth, the brake system for leaks and damage, suspension and axle components, lights, seat belts, and coolant level. The visit also looks over the underbody and the body for paint damage and corrosion, and it includes a road test.
Both visits include the oil and filter change, so your oil interval stays the same either way.
Several items have their own intervals, based on miles, time, or whichever comes first.
| What gets serviced | Standard interval | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Brake fluid | Every 2 years, regardless of mileage | Time-based, so a low-mileage Audi still needs it |
| Dust and pollen filter, also called the cabin filter | Every 20,000 miles or 2 years, whichever comes first | Comes due as often as a standard maintenance visit |
| Engine air filter | Every 60,000 miles on most models | Every 20,000 miles on the RS 6 Avant and RS 7 |
| Spark plugs | Every 30,000 to 80,000 miles, or every 3 to 6 years, whichever comes first | Your engine sets the interval |
| S tronic transmission fluid | Every 40,000 to 80,000 miles, depending on the model | Applies to Audis with an S tronic dual-clutch transmission |
| AWD clutch fluid | Every 3 years, regardless of mileage | Applies to the A3, Q3, and TT |
| Panoramic sunroof drain check | Every 20,000 miles or 2 years, whichever comes first | Applies to Audis with a panoramic sunroof |
Yes. Your Audi’s service schedule counts time as well as miles, and some items come due by the calendar no matter how little you drive.
Minor maintenance comes due at one year and standard maintenance at two years even if the mileage is low. Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air over time, and that lowers its boiling point, so it is replaced every two years regardless of mileage.
If the car sits while you’re away for part of the year, plan the visit around your travel. Book it before you leave or right after you get back, so a long stretch away doesn’t push a time-based item past its date.
Yes, in a few ways. The plug-in hybrid models in Audi’s schedule follow the same maintenance as other Audis with an engine, plus extra checks on the high-voltage parts, such as the charging cable and socket, the high-voltage coolant level, and the high-voltage system connector. If the charging cable is in the car, leave it there, since the inspection checks it for damage.
An all-electric Audi has no engine oil to change, but it still has scheduled maintenance, including cleaning and inspecting the charging socket on e-tron models. Our Audi Melbourne Electric Vehicle Maintenance service covers electric Audis.
At Audi Melbourne Service Center, our factory-trained technicians follow factory procedures and use specialized tools and Audi Genuine Parts to carry out the services on your schedule. Audi Genuine Parts offer fit and operation comparable to Audi original equipment parts and durable operation over their service life.
Every time you service your Audi with us, we offer a complimentary multi-point inspection, and we review the checklist with you so you know the condition of your Audi. At scheduled maintenance, we also reset the service reminder display.
What Audi maintenance costs depends on which service is due and on your model, and offers change, so check our service specials page for current offers before you book.
If the inspection finds something that needs replacing, such as the battery, belts, or wiper blades, replacement parts and labor can cost extra on top of the scheduled service. Scheduled maintenance checks your brake pad thickness and tire tread depth, but replacing worn pads or tires is separate brake or tire service.
Audi Care prepaid maintenance packages let you pay for the services on your schedule ahead of time, and prepaying can cost less than buying those services one at a time. Actual savings vary.
Your model year and mileage decide which package you can buy, and each package is valid for the mileage and time stated in its contract. With Audi Care, applicable taxes are extra, and tax on parts may be due at each scheduled visit.
If you buy or lease through Audi Melbourne, the cost of Audi Care can be built into your payment. To spread service costs over time, our service and parts financing page lets you apply for payment options.
