What is an Audi Tune-up?
Depending on who you’re talking to, a “tune-up” for any vehicle might refer to any number of services required to increase efficiency, reduce emissions, boost performance, and help extend the life of your vehicle. However, your Audi is an engineering marvel that has specific maintenance requirements. Here’s a list of common automotive services associated with a generic “tune-up”:
- Replace the spark plugs and wires
- Set the ignition timing
- Replace the engine air filter
- Replace the fuel filter
- Clean the fuel system and other vital engine parts
- Check the exhaust system
Each of these services are handled at different service intervals, according to your Audi’s owner manual. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact an Audi Fletcher Jones certified technician at (949) 791-1600 or schedule an appointment online.
