There are many reasons why your check engine light could be on in your Audi. Some of the most common reasons are: a failing oxygen sensor, faulty spark plugs, a loose or missing gas cap, overheating inside the engine system, or an issue with the exhaust system. If your car is undergoing one of these, it’s imperative to have it looked at by a mechanic as soon as possible.

Monitor and maintain adequate tire pressure values as indicated on the fuel filler door. Check the inflation pressure in all tires, including the spare, before going on long tours and at least once a month. The best time for inspecting is in the morning, after the BMW hasn’t been used for several hours or days. At least once a month, check to see how the tires are wearing.

Every scheduled car maintenance appointment should include a standard inspection. An ASE-licensed mechanic will conduct a thorough inspection of any required services. This is the best technique to have the brakes checked, as brake quality is measured by size, look, and feel. Make sure to have squeaky brakes looked at, as it can indicate a more significant issue.

There’s no scheduled replacement interval for power steering fluid. The steering fluid should be replaced only as required based on visual inspection by a mechanic.

While many mechanics have the 3k to 7k miles or 3-month oil-change rule, this may or may not be true for your vehicle. So, always check the auto user manual. This gives you the most accurate information, particularly for newer makes.
