Is there one, comprehensive list of maintenance specs? (Fluids, capacities, torques)

[ptatohed]

I'm trying to do a complete preventative maintenance service on my '01.5 S4 since I just bought it (I always do this to any used car I buy). Oil change, fuel filter, coolant flush, gear oil, spark plugs, in-cabin filter, etc., etc., etc. I'm having a hard time collecting all of the basic maintenance specs. I'm finding some here and some there but a complete comprehensive list would be great. Is there a website which contains this info.?

Recommended fluids, fluid capacities, torque specs, spark plug brand/part #, spark plug gap, OEM replacement part numbers, etc.

Thanks!

Thanks C. I wasn't really looking for a maintenance schedule or modification information. I am looking more for the preventative maintenance/tune-up specs, as stated in the first post. But thanks anyway.

[ptatohed]

Here's the fluid info.

http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...Capacity-Chart

Very nice. Thanks car. Our S4s take 6.9 quarts of oil??? Seriously?

[4ringsonthagril]

*would also like to know if anyone has compiled a list of these*

I believe that's bone dry. Been a few months since i changed my oil. But I do get 7 quarts when I do a change.

[scottrs4avant]

My last change took exactly 7 quarts.

[ptatohed]

Anyone else? If there is not one location with all tune-up info., I'll try to put one together after I acquire it all.

[MDJ]

I haven't looked all the way through these PDFs, but they're very helpful!

http://www.socals4.com/repair/

Maybe start with the self study? What capacities are you looking for in specific? Oil, P/S, Brake, G12 or all of them?

[SEA4]

Factory recommendations...

Thanks MDJ. I have seen that link before. I did go through the B5 manual and, unless I missed it, there is not a complete listing. I don't believe the self study has tune-up specs. all capacities, from windshield cleaner fluid to brake to rear differential. Thanks!

Thanks SEA but as stated several times now, I am not looking for a tune-up schedule (that is in the maintenance schedule provided with the owner's manual), I am looking for the tune-up specs. Type of spark plug, spark plug gap, spark plug torque, type of engine oil, viscosity of engine oil, fluid capacities, bolt tourques, etc., etc.

How's this? Has most of what you want in terms of fluid capacity and types of fluid, except for engine oil. http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...Capacity-Chart

^^^ Hope the author doesn't mind me re-posting the chart here. Our engine is ofcourse the APB.



Here's a list of approved engine oils that meet the VW/Audi quality standards. There is no "set viscosity" you should use, it's more dependent on the temperatures in your area and whether or not you get super cold temps. http://www.audiusa.com/etc/medialib/....0023.File.pdf

For a stock S4 up to Stage 3, use the factory NGK plug. It's a PFR6Q. Stage 3 should use the Bosch F5DPOR. The manual says the torque is 22 ft-lbs for the plugs. Any of the other bolt torques are ALL listed in the B5 S4 manual listed on the SocalS4 site, which you can download.

Hope this helped.
