Driving tips for your brand new Audi
There are few things in life as exciting as buying a brand new Audi!And to get your new vehicle performing at its very best there are a few things you should bear in mind for the first couple of months or so.
Marshall Audi recommends following the advice of the Institute of Advanced Motorists’ RoadSmart division during the initial ‘running in’ period.
1.
Start
driving your Audi gently. Try to avoid
accelerating harshly or braking heavily, because the brakes need a little time to
bed in. You will also find your tyres
last longer if you treat them gently for the first few hundred miles.
2.
For
the first 1,000 miles, it’s best to avoid running your engine for a long time
at a constant speed. Varying your speed
initially will help the engine parts in your Audi to work together better.
3.
You
might find that your oil consumption is relatively high for the first few
thousand miles. It is nothing to worry
about and will soon settle down once the engine parts have loosened up. But do make sure you check your oil and
coolant levels often.
4. You might also find, to begin with, that your fuel economy isn’t quite what you were expecting. This is perfectly normal. Your fuel consumption will gradually improve to where it should be as the moving parts start to wear in.
“Buying a new car is a substantial investment,” the Head of Riding & Driving Standards at IAM RoadSmart, Richard Gladman, said. “Treating it with a little restraint to begin with will help all the parts to perform at their best for longer and more reliably.This will also help you get the feel of the car before you fully exploit the performance.”
