1986 Audi 5000 Quattro Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Audi 5000 Quattro, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your 5000 Quattro could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 5000 Quattro, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1986 Audi 5000 Quattro!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Audi themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 5000 Quattro perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1986 Audi 5000 Quattro problems later.

Bring your 1986 Audi 5000 Quattro to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your 5000 Quattro. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 1986 Audi 5000 Quattro be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty 5000 Quattro) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Audi 5000 Quattro won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
