60K service,dont have users manual
Hello all,I am a new Audi 2005 A6, 3.2 owner; just bought it from used dealership but did not come with ANY MANUALS at all, not know which service was done or even oil changes.
1)She just hit 60,550 mi; was wondering what maintenance should be done. I truly love this car and would like to keep it trouble free.
2)I usually do all maintenance and fixin' work on my acura and hondas (with help of helms manual)i.e. replace new clutch and transmission etc..I would like to do the same maintenance and work with my Audi if problem arises, however, I do not know which repair manuals and diagnostic tools are better than others.
3)or would it be easier and not as time consuming to just purchase an extended warranty?Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanx. Andy

Re: 55K was the big scheduled maintenance. ATF and coolant are supposed to be lifetime, but you may
Are these maintenances easy to perform WITH the assistance of a repair manual? I currently do not have any manuals to assist me. What repair manuals do you mostly recommend. I have seen some posts of others using the "bentley manual" and the "vag-com manual". Any info is greatly appreciated with you guys. Thank you in advance.

Here's the basic items for 55K...
* Oil & filter change
* Service Reminder Display - reset
* Wiper Arm Pivot Points - lunbricate
* Check coolant level, top off as necessary
* Engine OBD - check memory, reset if necessary
* Battery - check level
* Dust & Pollen filter - replace
* Auto transmission - check for leaks
* Sunroof - clean guide rails, lubricate rails
* Door Hinge Mechanisms - lubricate
* Air Cleaner - clean hosuing, replace filter
* Check exhaust system, tires, axles, underbody, etc. for damage, leaks, etc.

Thanks, A6Gary for your help. I'm ordering bentley manual and will be getting those things done. Will be purchasing vag-com software in 2 weeks. Thanks again.

Thanks all, I will try going to the dealer and asking if the 55K was performed and take it from there. Hopefully they are helpful. Once again, thank you for you kind help.
