1988 Audi 5000 Quattro Maintenance

Take care of your Audi 5000 Quattro and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 5000 Quattro. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine 5000 Quattro maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1988 Audi 5000 Quattro!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Audi, your vehicle manufacturer. 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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 5000 Quattro's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1988 Audi 5000 Quattro problems.

Bring your 1988 Audi 5000 Quattro to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. 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 1988 Audi 5000 Quattro be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 5000 Quattro may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Audi 5000 Quattro battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 5000 Quattro stranded. Your Audi 5000 Quattro could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1988 Audi 5000 Quattro running newer, longer. See Audi's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1988 5000 Quattro in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1988 Audi 5000 Quattro? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Audi 5000 Quattro suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Audi 5000 Quattro steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Audi 5000 Quattro's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Audi 5000 Quattro maintenance, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C.
