I'm curious about the maintenance schedule for Audi's. I have a 2018 A3 that I bought in 2019 as a used 'certified' vehicle [3000 k's on the car] from a dealer and they have never contacted me for any 'regular' maintenance to this date. Maybe Audi's don't have regular scheduled maintenance? Other than an annual oil change and a recall service, nothing has been done to date. Now, because of covid I'm driving far less than I would normally so with about 20k on the car I'm due for my oil change. Part of the reason I'm asking is that this is my first Audi but I've owned two BMW 328's previously. Both also bought as used 'certified' vehicles and it seems like the BMW dealer was getting in touch every 6 months or so for regular scheduled maintenance.

Is there no such thing with Audi's?

Sorry for replying a couple months past although just joined. IMO the maintenance is up to you. If you have a really forward thinking dealership they would probably send you reminders and such as they want your business although I wouldn’t stop being aware of your maintenance schedule. For instance depending on vehicle an oil change interval can go 5k to 15k but should it?

Thanks for that response Vjdemart, and that is kind of what I thought but it seems like really poor service from the dealer. Not likely to make me feel like going back for my next car since all I get from them is emails marketing new cars. And, I've checked through the manual and there is no list of items that require maintenance at specific intervals. The BMW manual had a schedule with items listed at various intervals such as 20kms, 30kms and such. The oil is being changed every 12 months as I did with the BMW. [synthetic]
