Do I need an appointment
when bringing my vehicle in for
service?
We recommend that any service
(other than an emergency) should be scheduled through an
appointment. This will help ensure your service is performed
as quickly as possible.
How do I schedule an
appointment?
You may schedule an
appointment by calling (888) 349-7009, or schedule your appointment
through our online Service Center.
Can I leave my car before
or after business hours?
Absolutely. We
have Early Bird drop off service available. It is located near the service garage door. Please just leave your keys in the drop-box in one of the provided envelopes, along with your name and contact information.
Do you offer
transportation to and from your service
center?
Yes! At Overturf Audi a Shuttle Service is available for your convenience to your
home or place of work within a 15 mile
radius.
I have a leased
Audi. Do I need to schedule service
appointments?
Customers with lease vehicles
are responsible for all maintenance of their vehicle as stipulated in
their lease contract. Failure to follow scheduled maintenance
could result in additional charges upon lease
termination.
Do you provide
loaner vehicles?
As a courtesy to our
customers, we will reserve you a loaner vehicle upon request when you
schedule a service appointment. (Subject to
availability)
The "Passenger
Side Airbag Off" light is illuminated, what does it
mean?
"Passenger Side Airbag Off" will
illuminate when there is no occupant in the passenger seat, if occupant
is out of position, or a child seat has been
installed.
How does the
Trip Computer work? And why are there two separate trip
memories?
The trip computer gives you
information on the current and average fuel mileage, speed, fuel range,
and driving time. The trip computer is equipped with two fully automatic
memories. The single-trip memory, Trip 1, stores the information from
the time the ignition is turned on until it is turned off. If the trip
is continued within 2 hours from the time the ignition was turned off,
the new information will be included until the trip is interrupted for
more than 2 hours. The Total-trip memory, Trip 2, is not reset
automatically, and it allows the driver to evaluate the driving data for
the entire period between manual resets.To toggle between readings,
press the up and down switches on the end of the windshield wiper lever.
Press the button on the bottom of the stalk to switch between Trip 1
and Trip 2. Also, to reset the values press and hold the RESET button on
the bottom of the wiper stalk.
Are TPMS
systems impacted by weather changes?
Yes,
tire pressure is affected by temperature changes and thus tire pressure
monitoring systems can be affected by temperature
changes.
When will the
TPMS system provide me with a warning?
The
tire pressure indicator in the instrument cluster informs you if the
tire pressure is too low or if there is a system malfunction.
These characteristics can change and cause a tire pressure warning if
the tire pressure in one or more tires is too low; the tire
has structural damage; or the tire pressure was changed or the
wheels rotated or replaced but the TPMS was not reset. An
indirect tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) compares the tire tread
circumference and vibration characteristics of the individual
tires. If the pressure decreases in one or more tires, this is
indicated in the instrument cluster with a warning
symbol.
Can I reset the
TPMS system or do I need to bring my car in tot the service
department?
The steps required to reset the
TPMS system in your specific vehicle are explained in your owner's
manual. You can always schedule a service appointment for us
to review the TPMS warning light.
If I need to
add oil to my Audi, what type is
recommended?
It is recommended you use
Castrol SYNTEC 5W40 weight motor oil on all Audi
models.
The Fuel Door
on my Audi is stuck, how can I open
it?
Gently pushing the fuel door will
release it. During cold weather the door can get frozen,
pushing on it can help get it open. There is also an emergency
release pull under the right rear quarter panel. Refer to
your owners manual for details on your specific Audi model. If
this fails to solve the issue, call our service
department.
I own a Diesel
engine, and my Particulate Filter went on, what does this
mean?
TDI® Vehicles: This occurs when the
particulate filter is becoming clogged. If the Particulate Filter
illuminates, drive for 15 minutes with selector lever in S position at a
minimum of 37 mph and engine speed of approximately 2000 RPM.
Temperature increase that will result from this can burn off the soot in
the filter. The symbol will switch off when the cleaning is successful.
If the symbol does not clear, and the MIL turns on please see your
nearest Audi dealer. Note: under normal conditions the filter will clean
itself with no intervention.
When it is cold
outside, I notice a small indicator light appears when I start the
vehicle, what does it mean?
The diesel
engine utilizes a glow plug system to assist in starting the
vehicle. This system is temperature controlled. When
it is cold outside, the engine may take a little longer to glow and
then you can start the vehicle easily. This will vary
depending on the temperature.
I went to a gas station
to refill my diesel tank and the filler nozzle fit into the tank, but
did not release fuel. Why would this happen and what
should I do?
TDI® Vehicles: TDI clean
diesel vehicles come with a "misfuel inhibitor" flap designed to help
reduce the risk of a customer misfiling their TDI vehicle with gasoline.
The flap will only be released by nozzles with the diameter specific to
a diesel pump nozzle. Smaller diameter gasoline nozzles or other types
of nozzles will not release the hooks. Nozzles that are out of
specification, worn, or damaged may not properly fit into the filling
neck and will not allow refueling. The customer should try rotating the
pump nozzle 90° which may assist in the event of a worn or damaged
nozzle. If refueling is still not possible the customer should try
another pump or fueling station.
How can I set my doors to
all open with press of
key?
A4, A5, Q5: The driver can determine the functions for the power locking in the radio or MMI. Press the 'Car' function button, Select 'Central Locking'. The menu appears and you can then change 'Unlocking Single Door' to on or off. Single door unlocking ON only unlocks the drivers door with a single press, with the setting to OFF all the doors unlock with one press of the remote (or using the touch sensor if Advance key equipped).
A6 and Q7: The driver can determine in the MMI which doors are unlocked through the central locking system. Select the 'Car' function button > 'Systems' > 'Central Locking'. You can then determine which doors should be unlocked when you unlock the vehicle with ther remote control (e.g., passenger's door, rear doors, trunk/tailgate). There is also a side selective unlocking option available that can be set to fit your needs. You can continue to unlock all the doors and the rear lid as before. Press the opening button on the master key twice. Auto locking can also be switched on and off.
A3: Press the 'Unlock' button once to unlock the driver door. Press the 'Unlock' button twice to unlock all doors and the rear lid.
Is there anything I
should know about performance
tires?
Performance tires are designed for
optimum performance and handling in warm climates. They are not suitable
for cold, snowy, or icy weather conditions. If you drive under those
circumstances, you should equip your vehicle with four all-season or
winter tires, which offer better traction under those conditions. We
suggest you use the recommended winter or all-season tires specified for
your car, or their equivalent. These high-performance tires also have a
lower aspect ratio that aids performance and handling; however, in
order to avoid tire, rim or vehicle damage, it is important that the
inflation pressure is regularly checked and maintained at recommended
levels. Serious wheel and tire damage may occur if the vehicle is
operated on rough or damaged road surfaces or upon encountering road
debris or obstacles. Please also remember in making your selection that,
while these tires deliver responsive handling, they may ride less
comfortably and make more noise than other choices. Finally, these tires
may wear more quickly than other choices. For more information on all
of these topics, please consult the owner's manual, or call our service
department.
