One of the easiest fluids to top off - learn how to open the hood and where the reservoir is on your car
Don't send mixed signals - if your turn signal doesn't blink, or blinks rapidly, you likely have a burnt out bulb
Sure you can take it in for a $19 lube, but are you OK with a stripped oil pan and cheap parts in return?
Avoid tickets and accidents with both working headlights! New bulbs are much brighter too

Follow the steps in this video to see how to fix minor coolant (antifreeze) leaks in your 2008 Audi A6. Leaking coolant / antifreeze is one of the more common types of leaking fluid from A6 engines. Engine coolant (which is also called antifreeze or anti-freeze) moves through the inside of your A6 engine and keeps it from overheating. Coolant / antifreeze can leak from the reservoir, radiator or any hose, in 2008 A6 with the 3.2 liter engine. However, a coolant leak (aka an antifreeze leak) is most likely to occur where the hoses connect to the engine or radiator. Otherwise, your A6 may have a radiator leak. This video shows you where the coolant reservoir, hoses and connections on your 2008 A6 Base are located and the steps needed to fix minor leaks.
A few things to note about coolant is that it is sweet tasting and highly toxic, so it can end up in the dog's stomach pretty quickly. If you ignore a small coolant leak long enough, you will run out of coolant, which leads to an overheated engine and other serious, but highly avoidable, problems. An anti-freeze leak can cause the temp sensor to record high engine temperatures in a 2008 Audi A6. Always protect yourself with safety glasses and gloves when working with the coolant on your A6.
