Audi RS5 Service
Three weeks…
That’s how long Mrs K had been waiting for her Audi RS5 service at a local Audi dealership.
Just days before the appointment, it was cancelled, leaving her unsure when her RS5 would finally receive the servicing it was due.
Audi sets service schedules for a reason, and delaying them can allow minor issues or early wear to go unnoticed, particularly on performance models like the RS5.
Wanting to avoid further disruption, she began searching for a reliable alternative for her Audi service in Newport.
She chose Protech Automotive, a trusted local independent Audi specialist known for accurate, manufacturer-led Audi servicing without the extended delays she’d already experienced.
Once everything was arranged, our team welcomed Mrs K and began carrying out the scheduled Audi RS5 service.
Confirming the Correct Audi RS5 Service Before Work Began
Before Mrs K arrived at our location, our front-of-house team had already gathered the key details during booking, including the cancelled dealership appointment and the Audi RS5 service her vehicle was due.
When she brought her Audi to Protech Automotive, Newport, we completed the usual check-in process and confirmed everything required for the visit.
As part of our preparation, our experts accessed the digital service record using Audi’s manufacturer system. This allowed us to confirm her RS5 was booked for the correct service level and that the Audi brake fluid change was required at this interval.
For a high-performance model like the Audi RS5, adhering to the recommended service schedule is crucial. Delays can allow minor issues or early wear to go unnoticed, which may lead to higher repair costs later on…
Which is something everyone wants to avoid.
This ensures every Audi service Newport we carry out remains aligned with Audi’s guidance.
With the type of service and work confirmed, our expert technicians proceeded directly to the scheduled Audi RS5 service. This included the complimentary safety inspection that comes with every Audi service at Protech Automotive, Newport, reassuring you that no underlying concerns were present at the time of the visit.

What Our Complimentary Audi Safety Inspection Includes
As part of every Audi service Newport completed at Protech Automotive, our technicians carry out a complimentary safety inspection. These checks run alongside the scheduled service and help confirm that no underlying issues are present at the time of your visit.
It gives you added reassurance that everything is operating as expected.
This complimentary safety inspection is performed on every vehicle we service and follows Audi’s manufacturer guidance. Each area is assessed against Audi’s standards for the specific model, ensuring the process remains consistent, thorough and aligned with the level of care you expect from an independent Audi garage.
This additional inspection helps you drive away with confidence, knowing your Audi has been reviewed beyond the routine service requirements.
Completing the Audi RS5 Service to Keep Performance on Track
With the initial checks complete, our technicians began the scheduled Audi RS5 service, following Audi’s approved service guidance and the information recorded in the digital service system.
At Protech Automotive, Newport, this stage focuses on the core service items Audi expects at this point in your RS5’s service schedule.
For Mrs K’s RS5, this included:
- Inspecting fluid levels.
- Assessing the brake system.
- Replacing the engine oil and filter.
- Checking the condition of the air and cabin filters.
- Reviewing tyre condition and pressures.
- Carrying out a visual underside inspection.
- Checking lights, wipers and washers.
As the service progressed, our technicians also completed the checks included in the complimentary safety inspection. With nothing concerning identified, we continued with the scheduled Audi brake fluid change.
Audi Brake Fluid Change to Complete the RS5 Service
The next stage of the service involved carrying out the Audi brake fluid change, which was due as part of the RS5’s service schedule.
Audi sets defined intervals for brake fluid replacement to help maintain consistent braking performance, particularly on performance models like the RS5.
Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture, which reduces braking effectiveness. Replacing it at the interval outlined in the vehicle handbook helps ensure the braking system remains stable and responsive.
You can learn more about why this is important in our Brake Fluid Guide.
Following Audi’s guidance, our technicians:
- Drained the existing brake fluid from the system.
- Refilled the system with the correct Audi-approved brake fluid.
- Bled the brakes using manufacturer-led steps to ensure clean, consistent fluid throughout.
- Checked braking response and pedal feel once the system was sealed.
With the brake fluid change completed, all service items due at this visit had been fully addressed.
Completing the Audi RS5 Service with a Full Digital Record Update
With the Audi RS5 service and brake fluid change completed, the final step was updating the digital service record using Audi’s authorised system.
