Servicing tailored to your needs
Prior to the 2000 model year, almost all Audi models followed
a traditional fixed Service Schedule similar to that of other
major car manufacturers: a Lubrication Service every 10,000
miles and an Inspection Service every 12 months or 20,000
miles – whichever occurred sooner. Since then, Audi has
introduced a more flexible maintenance system that works
in accordance with how, where and how much an individual
uses their car.
The two Servicing Regimes available are the conventional
‘Inspection Service Regime’ and the flexible ‘LongLife Service
Regime’. When you purchase a new car, we will recommend
one of these regimes to you depending on your own
individual driving style and journey-type. The tables below
should give you an indication of which regime might be more
appropriate for you.
With the LongLife Service Regime, on-board sensors
continuously monitor the condition of the engine oil in terms
of temperature, level and oil degradation. The monitoring
system also checks mileage, brake-pad wear and battery
condition. Using this information, the car’s on-board
computer calculates its own maintenance interval, providing
you with ample warning of a due Service via the ‘distance to
Service’ display.
In practice, this means that every Audi gets the maintenance
it needs, when it needs it. For companies and private owners
alike, there are many advantages to the LongLife Service
Regime. Longer service intervals mean lower maintenance
costs, and thus lower whole-life costs. According to company
car mileage monitored at Audi since the introduction of
LongLife, petrol engines are typically achieving an average of
at least 17,500 miles and diesel engines around 20,000 miles
between services.
One of the factors that makes this kind of servicing regime
possible is the advanced engineering and technology that goes
into Audi engines. Furthermore, Audi use high-grade long-life
oils such as Castrol SLX LongLife III, which are designed to
withstand ageing and high loads without deterioration.
Compared to conventional oils, these advanced-formulation oils
also give exceptional levels of engine protection, are kinder to
the environment and deliver average fuel savings of 2.7%.
CO

emissions-based Vehicle Excise Duty
Vehicle Excise Duty (Road Fund Licence) is based upon the
amount of Carbon Dioxide (CO
2
) a vehicle emits, measured
in grams per kilometre (g/km). The DVLA has created
thirteen categories:
Vehicle usage:
Mileage Less than 10,000* miles per annum
Type of journey Mainly city/town centre driving. Short journeys
Conditions Frequent cold starts.
High engine loading – e.g. frequent hill climbs,
vehicle fully loaded, towing
Driving style Uneconomical – e.g. heavy acceleration, heavy
braking, constant changes in speed, constant
use of high revs, ’sporty’ driving
Vehicle usage:
Mileage More than 30 miles per day
Type of journey Motorway and main road driving. Mainly
longer distance journeys. Constant speeds
Conditions Normal engine loading – e.g. with little or no
towing, with little or no hill climbs. Normal
vehicle loading
Driving style Moderate acceleration, moderate braking,
engine revs mainly below 3,000
Service intervals:
Oil-change Service Fixed to every 10,000* miles/1 year
Inspection Service Fixed to every 20,000* miles/2 years
Service intervals:
Inspection Service** Variable to a maximum of every 20,000*
miles/2 years
*As indicated by the service interval display. Mileages are approximate as the Service Indicator system uses kilometres as its distance measurement.
**Always includes an oil change.
