Just because you want to travel in your Audi vehicle this summer doesn’t mean you have to spend a lot of money. The fact of the matter is there are specific things you can do for your trips to maximize yoru savings while minimizing your hassle.

If you’re taking a longer trip, one of the best things you can do is to save gas. There are specific ways you can do this. First of all, keep your tires inflated to the manufacturer’s recommendation. This can increase your gas mileage by as much as 8% or more. In addition, you should keep your vehicle close to the speed limit as possible, as the faster you go the more gas you use. Using cruise control to keep a steady speed is wise, as well.

You can save in other ways, too. Plan ahead, and pack some healthy snacks and drinks in the car. Try to schedule rest stop breaks ahead.

Finally, you might consider taking “daycations” instead of longer trips. Find destinations close to home, whether it is to a local berry farm to pick berries or even if its just a day at the zoo.

When you take your Audi vehicle to get the oil changed, it’s likely that the service center or mechanic may recommend other services at that time. Two of the most common add-ons are a coolant flush and shock and strut repair. Knowing a little bit about these two can save you money, time and trouble.

One of the most common up-sell items when you get an oil change is a coolant flush. A coolant flush gets rid of your old coolant that has broken down and replaces it with new coolant. This is becoming less and less common, as extended life coolants are more common and only need to be changed every 100,000 miles. These extended life coolants are red in color, whereas the traditional coolant is green in color. Make sure you know what kind of coolant you have in your Audi by looking at your owner’s manual before you have your coolant flushed.

Shocks and struts are another common repair. When your shocks go bad, your Audi is going to ride rough. On top of that, though, your tires will wear unevenly. It’s important, then, to make sure that you replace your shocks when they need it. You can test your shocks and struts by pushing down on the front of the vehicle and then releasing it. It should come back up to its original height easily, and not bounce.

Make sure you only trust a qualified mechanic to service your Audi. Set up an appointment with us today.

Your Audi is a well built and finely tuned machine. However, every car will sometimes feel the effects of time and being driven down the road. One thing you can do to know how your Audi vehicle is doing is to listen for noises.

If your Audi vehicle makes a clunk or a clank, for example, it is likely that there is a problem with one of the heavier components of the vehicle. It could be that there is a problem with the gears in the transmission. It could be that there is a problem with an axle pinion. It’s also possible that the parts of your Audi that support your vehicle – such as the suspension, struts or shocks – aren’t doing there job that well any longer.

At other times you might hear a squeal or squeak. If your car squeals when you’re stopping, there is probably a problem with your brakes and it is time for new brake pads. If you hear a squeaking noise when you turn, you may have some problem or another with the power steering on your Audi.

If your Audi starts to make a noise, get to your local Doylestown area Audi dealer today. We are able and ready to meet all of your service needs.

The Audi TT, from the time it was announced as a concept car in 1995 until it actually started rolling off the production line, has been one of the most dramatic vehicles Audi ever produced. It’s look, from the symmetrical profiles to its slab-sided flanks, was new for Audi, and unlike anything the company had previously produced. Most interestingly, the Audi TT looked nothing like the Volkswagen Golf from which it evolved.

So, is the Audi TT a sports car, a roadster, or a sport coupe? It’s hard to fit the TT into any one category. This vehicle has the feel and the look of a real sports car, but has a personality that tends more toward luxury.

The latest version of the Audi TT, redesigned in 2008, is the second generation. It’s a little bit larger than the previous version, but the overall look and feel are the same. Audi’s single frame grill has been incorporated into this version, as well.
