1999 Audi A4 Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Audi A4, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your A4 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your A4, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1999 Audi A4 maintenance schedule!

Audi knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your A4 running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1999 Audi A4 problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1999 Audi A4 and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your A4’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1999 Audi A4 be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Audi A4 battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Audi A4 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
