VW Audi Maintenance Tips

Tuneup - an old-fashioned maintenance term that's nearly non-existent today. With electronic ignition and fuel injection came computers that took over control of Volkswagen Audi engine settings. Early versions allowed for some tinkering, but today's VW - Audi engines require advanced equipment and training.


You can, however, replace normal maintenance parts/spares and still see improved engine performance from your VW- Audi. Here are common maintenance parts you can replace to significantly increase performance and reduce major problems:

Basic Ignition Audi Parts

Spark Plugs: Spark plugs are good indicators of VW Audi - engine condition. Removing and inspecting spark plugs tell you a lot about how well the engine is running and what may be causing problems.

All spark plugs should be removed and checked every 30,000 miles - even if your Audi is "low maintenance" - you're told to change spark plugs at 100,000 miles. This prevents the plugs from seizing in the block, causing expensive repairs down the road.

Always note which plug came from which cylinder. This tells you if a particular cylinder has a problem. BEWARE: New spark plugs can make a difference in your Audi's performance but only if replaced with the appropriate OE replacement plug.

Distributor Cap & Rotor: Both the distributor cap and the rotor are usually plastic and, thus, deteriorate with age and use. Cracks may develop, allowing moisture in. The metal contacts on both can then corrode, causing misfiring. These parts should be replaced at recommended intervals or if showing any excessive wear.
