Audi RS5 Service
Three and a half weeks.
That was how long Mr F had been waiting for his Audi RS5 service at a nearby Audi dealer.
Only days before the appointment, the booking was cancelled, which left him uncertain when his RS5 would receive the service it required.
Audi carefully plans its service intervals, and postponing them can allow small issues or early wear to progress unnoticed, especially on high-performance models like the RS5.
Keen to keep things on schedule, Mr F searched for a reliable option for his Audi service Cheltenham.
He booked with Cheltenham & Gloucester Autocentre, an independent Audi specialist garage that follows Audi-approved servicing processes without extended lead times.
When Mr F arrived for his appointment, our team welcomed him and began the scheduled Audi RS5 service.
Verifying the Audi RS5 Service Details Ahead of the Appointment
Before Mr F attended his booking, our service team had already gathered the essential information, including the details of the cancelled dealership appointment and the service his Audi RS5 required.
Upon arrival at Cheltenham & Gloucester Autocentre, we followed our standard check-in procedure and confirmed the scope of work for the visit.
Our Audi specialists then reviewed the Audi digital service record using manufacturer-approved software. This confirmed that his RS5 had been allocated the correct service level and that an Audi brake fluid change was required at this stage.
For high-performance vehicles like the Audi RS5, sticking to Audi’s service intervals is important. Delaying them can allow minor issues or early wear to progress unnoticed, which can result in large repair bills.
This process ensures that every Audi service we complete adheres to guidelines set by Audi.
Once everything was confirmed, our technicians began the scheduled Audi RS5 service, including the complimentary safety inspection provided with every Audi service at Cheltenham & Gloucester Autocentre.

What Our Complimentary Audi Safety Inspection Covers
Every Audi service completed at Cheltenham & Gloucester Autocentre includes a complimentary safety inspection carried out during the service. These free checks form part of the process and help confirm that there are no underlying issues present at the time of the visit.
It offers an additional level of reassurance that everything appears as it should, providing you with peace of mind.
This inspection is carried out on every vehicle we service using the correct manufacturer information. Each component is checked against Audi’s specifications for the model, ensuring the inspection remains detailed, consistent and in line with Audi’s servicing standards.
The purpose of this inspection is to support confidence on the road and to confirm that the vehicle has received attention beyond the core service work.
Completing the Audi RS5 Service in Line with Audi Guidance
Once the initial checks were completed, our technicians began the scheduled Audi RS5 service, working in accordance with Audi’s service guidelines and the vehicle’s digital service record.
At Cheltenham & Gloucester Autocentre, this part of the visit centres on the key service items Audi requires at this stage of the RS5’s service plan.
For Mr F’s Audi RS5, the service involved:
- Inspecting tyre condition and setting correct pressures.
- Inspecting the brake system.
- Replacing the engine oil and filter.
- Checking the condition of the air and cabin filter.
- Reviewing fluid levels.
- Confirming lights, wipers and washers were operating correctly.
- Carrying out a visual underside inspection.
Alongside the Audi RS5 service work, our technicians carried out the checks included in the complimentary safety inspection. With no concerns identified, we proceeded with the scheduled Audi brake fluid change.
Completing the Audi Brake Fluid Change as Part of the RS5 Service
The next part of the visit involved completing the Audi brake fluid change, which was due according to the RS5’s service plan.
Audi specifies precise intervals for brake fluid replacement to help maintain stable braking performance, especially on performance vehicles like the RS5.
As brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, its effectiveness can be reduced. Replacing the fluid at the interval outlined in the vehicle handbook helps ensure the braking system continues to perform as intended.
You can read more about the importance of brake fluid changes in our Brake Fluid Guide.
Working in line with Audi’s procedures, our Audi specialists:
- 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 braking feel and pedal response once complete.
With the brake fluid change finished, every service item due during this appointment had been completed.
Finalising the Audi RS5 Service and Updating the Digital Record
After completing the Audi RS5 service and scheduled brake fluid change, the final task was updating the digital service record through Audi’s manufacturer system.
As an independent Audi specialist garage, Cheltenham & Gloucester Autocentre has been authorised to access Audi’s official digital service platform, ensuring that any Audi service we perform is logged exactly as Audi requires.
Keeping this record accurate and up to date:
- Helps maintain your Audi’s resale value.

- Supports the protection of your car’s Audi warranty.
Once the digital service record was updated, our team contacted Mr F to let him know his RS5 was ready for collection.
He was pleased with the efficient turnaround and the overall independent Audi servicing experience.
With his Audi running correctly, he felt confident that his Audi RS5 had been well-maintained and was back in top working condition.
