Audi RS5 Service
Almost three and a half weeks…
That was how long Mr W had been waiting for his Audi RS5 service at an Audi dealer.
Shortly before the agreed date, the appointment was cancelled, leaving him unsure when his Audi RS5 would receive the service it was due.
Audi carefully plans servicing intervals based on your vehicle’s needs at set milestones, and delaying them can allow small issues or early wear to go unnoticed, especially on high-performance-focused models like the RS5.
Keen to keep his servicing on schedule, Mr W looked for a dependable option for his Audi service.
After reading reviews online, he booked with our team at RS Autotechnik. We’re an independent Audi specialist garage following Audi-approved servicing processes without extended lead times.
Once the booking was confirmed and Mr W attended as planned, our technicians moved into the scheduled Audi RS5 service.
Checking the Audi RS5 Service Details Ahead of the Visit
Before Mr W attended his booking, our team had already reviewed the key information, including the dealership cancellation and the Audi RS5 service his vehicle required.
When he arrived at RS Autotechnik, our team completed our standard check-in and confirmed the scope of work for his vehicle’s appointment.
We then reviewed the Audi digital service record using Audi-approved software. This showed the RS5 was assigned the correct service level and that an Audi brake fluid change was required at this stage.
For high-performance vehicles like his RS5, following Audi’s specified service intervals matters. Any delays can allow minor issues or early wear to go unnoticed, and could result in costly repairs.
This ensures every Audi service our experts complete follows Audi’s guidance.
Once everything was verified, our technicians began the scheduled Audi RS5 service, including the complimentary safety inspection provided with every Audi service at RS Autotechnik.

What Our Complimentary Audi Safety Inspection Looks For
Every Audi service at RS Autotechnik includes a free safety inspection. These checks form part of the visit and help confirm that no underlying issues are present at the time of the appointment.
It offers additional reassurance that everything is functioning as it should.
Every vehicle our experts service receives this inspection, which is carried out using Audi’s manufacturer information. By checking each component against Audi’s standards for the model, the inspection remains methodical and consistent with Audi’s servicing requirements.
This helps provide reassurance and confirms that key areas have been assessed alongside the main service items.
Completing the Audi RS5 Service in Line with Audi Guidance
Once the initial checks were finished, our technicians began the scheduled Audi RS5 service, following Audi’s service guidance and the vehicle’s digital service record.
At RS Autotechnik, Dursley, this part of the visit centres on the core service items Audi requires at this stage of the RS5’s service plan.
For Mr W’s Audi RS5, the service involved:
- Inspecting the brake system.
- Replacing the engine oil and filter.
- Assessing tyre condition and pressures.
- Checking the air and cabin filter condition.
- Reviewing fluid levels.
- Completing a visual underside inspection.
- Confirming that the lights, wipers, and washers were operating correctly.
Alongside the service work, our technicians completed the checks included in the complimentary safety inspection. With everything appearing to be in order, we moved on to the scheduled Audi brake fluid change.
Completing the Audi Brake Fluid Change as Part of the RS5 Service
The next part of the service involved completing the Audi brake fluid change, which was due according to the RS5’s service plan.
Audi outlines specific brake fluid replacement intervals to help support consistent braking performance, especially on high-performance vehicles such as the RS5.
As brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, braking efficiency can be reduced. Renewing it at the interval shown in the handbook helps ensure the braking system continues to operate correctly.
You can learn more about this in our Brake Fluid Guide.
Working in line with Audi’s procedures, our technicians:
- Removed the old brake fluid from the system.
- Added fresh Audi-approved brake fluid.
- Bled the braking system following manufacturer-guided steps to ensure even fluid distribution.
- Confirmed pedal response and braking feel once complete.
With the brake fluid change finished, all service work due at this appointment had been completed.
Finalising the Audi RS5 Service and Updating the Digital Record
After completing Mr W’s Audi RS5 service and the scheduled brake fluid change, our final task was updating the vehicle’s digital service record using Audi’s official system.
As an independent Audi garage, RS Autotechnik, Dursley, has authorised access to Audi’s digital service platform. This allows us to log the service exactly as Audi requires.
Keeping this record accurate and up to date:
- Helps maintain your vehicle’s future resale value.
- Provides an accurate and traceable service history.
- Supports the protection of your vehicle’s Audi warranty.
Once the update was complete, our team contacted Mr W to confirm his RS5 was ready for collection.
He was pleased with the efficient turnaround and clear communication throughout the visit and left our garage happy and confident that his vehicle was in excellent condition.
