I recently looked up the same query as the OP, so I’ll update with the response I received from Audi (for potential future Google indexing):
When doing an inspection service, technicians may perform up to a major service’s worth of work, but only if necessary. For example, if you recently had an oil service, the amount of work performed will be less than a major service’s worth of work.

What does the term “Audi inspection due” mean?
Audi’s mileage-based reminder system serves only to prompt owners to bring their vehicles in for routine maintenance, such as oil changes and other maintenance items listed on the maintenance plan. The engine mileage is tracked by the computer system since the time it was reset, and the light will come on whenever a predetermined number of miles have been accumulated. It is programmed to activate once every 10,000 kilometers.
The mileage-based maintenance reminder system does not account for the distinctions between light and extreme driving conditions, load weight, towing, or weather conditionsimportant factors that affect oil lifebecause it is not algorithm-driven like other more sophisticated maintenance reminder systems. As a result, it is crucial to be aware of your driving conditions throughout the year and to consult a specialist as needed to assess whether or not your vehicle requires servicing based on your unique, most often driving circumstances.
The table below can help you estimate how frequently you would need to change the oil in a current car (earlier cars typically require more regular oil changes):
- Notably, the length of engine oil depends not only on the aforementioned elements but also on the model and year of your particular vehicle and the required type of oil. For further details on the recommended oil for your car, consult the owner’s manual, and don’t be afraid to ask one of our knowledgeable experts for guidance.
Depending on your driving habits and conditions, Audi recommends a series of inspections when the SERVICE DUE light comes on and you make an appointment to have your car serviced. These inspections will help keep your car in good working order and can help prevent untimely and expensive engine damage.
The graph below shows the suggested inspections by Audi for certain mile increments. An example of an Audi maintenance schedule can be seen in this graph. This information is subject to change about maintenance frequency as well as the maintenance conducted depending on variables, such as the vehicle year and model as well as your unique driving habits and conditions:
The Audi maintenance reminder system can be used to remind the driver to get their car serviced, however it should only be used as a general guideline depending on how and where the car is driven. The owners manual contains standard time tables on which other suggested maintenance advice is based. This does not imply that Audi drivers should disregard these warnings. A vehicle’s lifespan will be significantly extended by proper maintenance services, guaranteeing that it is dependable, safe to drive, protected by the manufacturer’s warranty, and having a higher market value.
A trained technician should always carry out such maintenance procedures. Contact our knowledgeable experts for guidance if you are unsure of what the Audi maintenance system means or what services your car could require.
What is an audit by Audi?
It’s a task that is on the service schedule; I didn’t ask them to perform anything. Since it was only at roughly 15k when the oil service was completed, the inspection was postponed until 19k.
A backup oil service and inspection service would typically be available. A standard inspection service includes an oil change along with part or all of the air, fuel, and spark plug filters. https://www.audi.co.uk/owners-area/servicing-maint…
The reason for the low cost is that I believe you only received the inspection service and an oil change. Your invoice’s failure to list parts, etc. astounds me. Why not get further information from the dealer?

The Package: 35/45k+
How Much Should The Entire Service Cost? Two oil changes at $100 each plus a replacement spark plug at $125 equals $325.
The 20/30/40/50k plan is the only one of the Audi Care plans that will even come close to being a fair deal if you decide to purchase one.
Even if any ASE-certified technician can perform the service for you, you will lose a little bit on the balance. However, if you value having a dealership perform the service, it can be worthwhile for you.
My advice is to always weigh your options when entering into a service agreement like this. It’s not as difficult to do things yourself as you would imagine, even for fundamentals like changing the oil.
Find an ASE-certified mechanic and ask for an estimate on the cost of the services listed in the Audi Care if you need to get your Audi serviced. You might be amazed at how much money you can save by having a mechanic work on it.
Why is my Audi due for service?
The “Service Due” indicator light for an Audi The’service due’ display on your Audi’s dashboard indicates that a more thorough inspection is required. In other words, it’s important to distinguish this light from the Audi oil change light.
An oil inspection is what?
You might discover that dealerships and auto repair facilities provide either an oil change or an oil change service when your car requires one. Dealerships will frequently offer an oil change service.
However, what actually distinguishes an oil change from an oil change service?
An oil change at the majority of auto repair shops and quick-lube locations entails draining and replacing the oil. Pretty basic. It frequently costs less than either of the other two options.
However, an oil change service includes more than just replacing the oil. It also includes an inspection of the oil filter, cabin filter, brake pads, tires, fluids, and other items. A typical oil change service costs more because the inspection is given more attention, value, and documentation.
You won’t have any problems with a speedy oil change if you’re in a pinch and need one right soon. However, your automobile and your future repair expenses will benefit if you take the time to include a safety inspection with an oil change service.
