I was tempted to take it in and have it done but my local Audi dealer always seems busy with Kia owners (dealership combined) so maybe I'll do these lubrication's myself and know it's done.
First..the sunroof, where to lube and what lube material, can I use the same lubricant on the doors,hood and trunk. How about door locks? All help welcome, pics are extra nice.. since this maintence usually applies to all VW based cars.

jeffry

great info, I have problem last time went the water came inside my car I use compressed air to unclog the drains

beep-beep

fantastic info. Thanks. Do you have anything about lubricating the windshield wiper guides? It is stated in the service intervals to lubricate them.

mystrodo

Like the others..outstanding graphic detail. Can I ask where this info came from? Thanks again.

royclark

This is the manual that I use http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A6-A7-A8-Workshop-Service-Repair-Manual-ElsaWin-2012-v4-00-/320871658282?pt=UK_CarParts_Vehicles_Manuals_Litte rature_ET&hash=item4ab570f32a

royclark

No mention of windshield wiper guides

These are the listings under service items for windshield wipers

Wiper blades: checking park position and checking for damage

Wiper blades: renewing

Windscreen wiper/washer system: checking jet settings, adjusting jets if necessary

Windscreen and headlight washer system: topping up with washer fluid

mystrodo

Hi RoyClark..again thanks for the link and the great post, I marked it as a favorate.

I found out bad expensive things happen when you don't lubricate using proper lubricants and doing it when the manual suggests, just makes everything better.
Audi lubes seem best but there's equally non-audi products avail. thx for the post Royclark!

i had my headliner off the other day when i was trying to swap my shark fin antenna.

i spotted these tubes and i knew about the service intervals to keep these clean so i figured i would take some pics for myself

figured ide share them


pics are from rear looking fwd to front
green is driver side and blue is pass side
