Volkswagen & Audi Service and Repair Auto Shop

VW and Audi Owners, here are few service and maintenance tips:

• Fuel Injector Flush
  Stop spending your money on unnecessary work that your car does not need. Have you ever been told that your vehicle needs a Fuel Injector Flush for greater MPG? WRONG!!! ...there is not proof of any MPG improvement due to cleaning injectors.
• Cooling System Flush
  How about those cooling system flushes? Most VW and Audi's are using lifetime coolant. Unless the Coolant is contaminated or the system has been opened due to repairs, the coolant does not need to be replaced.
• Check Engine Light
  The check engine light comes on when the on-board computer detects a fault in engine drivability or performance, transmission control system or transmission, or the emissions system, and a fault code is set and stored in the computer. Faults that can set the check engine light can range from a vacuum leak, engine miss-fire, low engine compression, faulty sensor such as O2 sensor or other engine sensor, hydraulic pressure loss in transmission, transmission shift solenoid, open/short in wiring harness, emission evaporative system leak, or one of over a hundred different reasons.
• Brake Fluid
  Brake fluid is subjected to very high temperatures.. It must have a high boiling point to avoid vaporizing in the brake lines. This vaporization is a problem because vapors are compressible and negates hydraulic fluid transfer of braking force. Car manufacturers  require periodic fluid changes to ensure reliability and safety. Once installed, moisture is being absorbed into the fluid through brake hoses and rubber seals and, eventually, the fluid will have to be replaced when the water content becomes too high. Electronic testers and test strips are commercially available to measure moisture content. The corrosion inhibitors also degrade over time.

• Motor Oil
  Because of the real need for motor oils with unique qualities, modern Volkswagen's and Audi's will demand a specific oil standard. Motor oil must be able to flow adequately at the lowest temperature it is expected to experience in order to minimize metal to metal contact between moving parts upon starting up the engine. Rubbing of metal engine parts inevitably produces some microscopic metallic particles from the wearing of the surfaces. Such particles could circulate in the oil and grind against moving parts, causing wear. Because particles accumulate in the oil, it is typically circulated through an oil filter to remove harmful particles. Using the proper lubrication is crucial for the life expectancy of your Engine.
• OEM Maintenance Plan
  An OEM Service Plan is a series of maintenance procedures carried out at a set time interval or after the vehicle has travelled a certain distance. This plan has been developed by Factory Engineers in the Developing stage of your vehicle. The service intervals are specified by the vehicle manufacturer in a service schedule and some cars display the due date for the next service electronically on the instrument panel. A complete service history usually adds to the resale value of a vehicle and a trouble FREE usage of your vehicle
