This Head is made to help the amateur mechanic to support the car in a condition of maximum efficiency of operational parameters, profitability, safety and reliability. Further you will find the full schedule of procedures of routine maintenance of the car, and also the Sections devoted to the description of service of its separate systems in Head. Descriptions of visual checks, adjustments are included in Sections, replacements of components and other good advice. Illustrations with types of an impellent compartment and the car bottom will help to define a site of separate components. Serving the car according to the kilometrazhno-time schedule and following the detailed instructions provided below, you receive the accurate program of the service, capable to provide long and reliable service of your car. Remember that this plan is exhaustive, and performance of its separate points and neglect others will not give expected result.

Current leaving

In the course of car service you are convinced soon that is possible – and it is necessary – to combine many procedures in view of similarity of actions on their performance. For example, if the car is raised over the earth for chassis greasing, follows at the same time while you are under the car, to examine system of production of the fulfilled gases, a suspension bracket, system of a steering and fuel system. If wheels are removed for carrying out other works, there is a sense to check brake mechanisms. And at last, suppose, that you had to borrow or hire a dinamometrichesky key. Even if it is necessary to you only to tighten a spark plug, you can check at the same time efforts of a tightening of so many critical nuts and bolts, on time how many will suffice.

The first step in implementation of the program of maintenance of the car is self-preparation. Attentively study materials of all Sections relating to the forthcoming procedures, then prepare all necessary materials, the equipment and tools. If you are afraid to face problems at performance of any concrete works, consult at the expert or at the person who was already carrying out this work.

The service which is carried out according to the index of intervals of service on a control panel


ATTENTION

The increased interval of service (WIV) is applied to models since 2000 of release (MJ00) (cars with Long-Life-Service system). Cars with this system can be determined by the number "QG1" in the service book or according to the plate with car data. The plate with data of the car is in a luggage carrier near a niche for a spare wheel.


At cars with Long-Life-Service system, thanks to accurate operation and sparing conditions of application, a service interval in 15 000 km or respectively 12 months can be increased twice. Thus, the maximum interval of service makes 30 000 km or 24 months, thus term of approach of service is signaled according to the index of intervals of service on the dashboard. The driver approximately for 3000 km is warned by "service in 3000 km" index (“service through 3000 km”) after each inclusion of ignition. After approach of term of the service defined by a monitor, there is “service” “service jetzt” message (“service now”). After that, service should be carried out immediately. At cars which during an interval of service passed less than 3000 km, the specified prevention appears without a preliminary signal.

Under very severe constraints of operation service at cars with Long-Life-Service system can be carried out after 15.000 km or each 12 months.

Service surely includes replacement of oil and works accompanying it.

The cars having given below characteristic, can be equipped with Long-Life-Service system:

1. Special (“flexibel”) index of intervals of service.
2. Touch sensor of low level of impellent oil.
3. Index of wear of brake shoes.
4. Impellent oil of long working capacity AUDI–Norm 503 00 (gasoline) or 506 00 (diesel engine).
5. The low-served lead-calcium storage battery.
ATTENTION

At cars with Long-Life-Service system at which the system is filled with oil, distinct from AUDI–Norm 503 00 or 506 00, the index of intervals of service should be established on 15.000 km or 12 months. It is made by index dumping by means of the adjusting button on a control panel.


At cars without Long-Life-Service system it is necessary to make replacement of oil and service according to the service plan.

Intervals of service of the car depend on time which has expired from the moment of the last service, and run.

In need of service, after inclusion of ignition and engine start, for one minute instead of run indications on the counter of a tachometer there is a signal of the index of service.

Thus one blink or both indexes:

service OIL (replacement of oil and accompanying works) or service INSP (inspection service).

As scale at calculation of service cycles the index takes time or the passable distance from the moment of the last dumping of the index in a starting position. Thus in calculation 1000 km or 10 days between emergence of the index and carrying out service undertake. Additional factors in calculation are not accepted.

If service is carried out, it is necessary to dump the service index in starting (zero) position.
ATTENTION

HUNDRED AUDIS in addition, at each service, by means of the device for poll of memory of malfunctions of V.A.G. 1551 read out data from memory of malfunctions of electronic monitors of the engine, ABS, a safety cushion and anticreeping system. It is for this purpose recommended to address through certain periods on HUNDRED. Thus it is necessary to mean that some malfunctions, for example the failed sensors of a control system of the engine, do not lead to appreciable decrease in characteristics of the car. Monitors have a mode of emergency functioning or work at reserve parameters that cannot be revealed by the driver. Poll of memory of malfunctions is carried out via the diagnostic socket.


At the cars which have or not having Long-Life-Service system, the index of intervals of service, after carrying out service or oil replacement, it should be dumped. If it is carried out by means of adjusting buttons on a control panel, the index is established on ”nicht flexibel”. In this case concerning the car the usual plan of service, according to term and the passable distance operates. If the index is established on ”flexibel”, it should be dumped by means of the device for reading of malfunctions or system of diagnostics of the car in conditions HUNDRED.

1–adjustment button
2–button of a measuring instrument of run
3–run index

The index of intervals of service can be dumped in two various ways: in conditions HUNDRED for this purpose the device for poll of memory of malfunctions of V.A.G is used. 1551, attached to the diagnostic socket on the central console.
If the specified device available is not present, the index can be dumped in a starting position by a key of dumping of a measuring instrument of run and hours on the dashboard as follows:
ATTENTION

Thus, the service index which has been adjusted on «flexibel» (flexible) is established on «nicht flexibel» (not flexible).


PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. Switch off ignition, the ignition key – in zero situation.
2. Press and hold a key-2-of the counter of the passable way.
3. Include ignition. On the index of the passable way–3–there is «service OEL» message. Release a key-2-.
4. Extend approximately on 2 about the button of-1-hours. Such way dumps «service OEL» message. Depending on date of the index the message of "service OEL" remains or there are three strokes (-–––).
5. Once again press a key-2-and release it. There is a switching on «service INSP» message.
6. Extend approximately on 2 about the adjusting button-1-near a tachometer. The index of service is dumped. Depending on date of the index the message of "service OEL" remains or there are three strokes (-–––).
7. Switch off ignition.

ATTENTION

At shutdown of the storage battery of the indication of the index remain.
