What brings a Audi into the shop
Timing chain tensioners
Chain and tensioner wear on the 2.0T, the earlier versions in particular. A rattle in the first seconds after a cold start is the warning.
Carbon build-up
Direct-injection engines build carbon on the intake valves because fuel never washes over them. It shows up as a misfire or a rough idle, and walnut blasting removes it properly.
Cooling system
Plastic water pump and thermostat housings that weep coolant on many 2.0T and 3.0T engines.
PCV and oil use
PCV valve faults and oil consumption on some 2.0T engines. We measure the consumption before recommending anything.
quattro
Haldex coupling service on transverse models like the A3, Q3 and TT, and differential service on the A4, A6 and Q5 family.
Servicing a Audi properly
Audi schedules oil service by time and distance, with brake fluid, spark plugs and S tronic fluid each on their own timetable. We use the VW 502, 504 or 508 oil approval your engine requires and reset the service reminder afterwards.
A Audi in a Regina winter
Short trips across the city in January are hard on direct-injection engines: they never get properly hot, and carbon builds faster. Cold mornings also find out weak coil packs. A misfire caught early is a coil or a plug; ignored, it can take the catalytic converter with it.

Audi questions
Does my Audi need carbon cleaning?
Only if the symptoms point to it — misfires, rough idle, lost power on a direct-injection engine. We diagnose first and recommend it only when it is the actual cause.
Is the timing chain rattle on my 2.0T serious?
A short rattle on a cold start is the early sign of tensioner wear. It is far cheaper to deal with at that stage than after the chain has jumped a tooth.
Do you service S tronic transmissions?
Yes, including the fluid and filter service, which is one of the most commonly skipped items on these cars.
