Default 35000 mile service

went in for 35000 service and they tried to sell me in an additional fuel injection service and a power steering service for a total of about $600....I said no, but was wondering, is this recommended/necessary? is they any benefit?

Default Huh? This car comes with electric steering assist. Scam warning best I can tell.

Throw Techron, Redline, or BG44K in the tank for injector cleaning (in rising strength).

Default Depends what kind of fuel you've been using. Use a good injector cleaner as outlined above

and at the very least you'll do no harm.

Default i run between sunoco 93, exxon 93, or shell 93...that's pretty much it.

i'll do as suggested...guess it couldn't hurt.

Default S6 20K MILE service

I'm just over 20k now and had my 30k service due to calendar time. Dealer made no mention of injestor or steering sys. service. I use top grade Shell or Sunoco and always use Rizlone fuel additive every 6 months or so. Had over 20 Audi's since the 70s and have never needed injector service. I currently have a A4 B5 with 205K miles, A5 B8 Cab. with 60k miles along with my 2020 S6. Dealers will push and use the scare factor, especially if a female brings the vehicle in for service.
