Periodic maintenance

Items that don't need doing at every service but should be on your radar at the right mileage or age.

Service itemIntervalTypical cost
Spark plugs
Replace every 30,000 miles for optimal performance. Use NGK or equivalent specified plugs. Worn plugs cause rough idle and increased fuel consumption.
A5A
 30,000 miles or 3 years
£40–£60
Dealer: £60–£90
Brake fluid
Replace every 2 years regardless of mileage. Brake fluid absorbs moisture which reduces braking effectiveness and causes corrosion in brake system components.

 2 years
£35–£55
Dealer: £55–£85
Coolant flush
Manufacturer recommends 60,000 miles or 5 years. Use specified long-life coolant only. Incorrect coolant can damage aluminium components in the cooling system.
