2 Answers
Audi A3 requires its first maintenance after driving 10,000 kilometers. The first maintenance items include: 1. Replace engine oil and oil filter; 2. Check the operation of the braking system, such as the gap and wear of brake pads and discs; 3. Tighten the bolts of various systems; 4. Check and adjust tire balance and alignment; 5. Check and replenish various fluids; 6. Check the operation of components such as lights, battery, shock absorbers, etc. The Audi A3 is a compact 5-door, 5-seat hatchback with a length, width, and height of 4343mm, 1815mm, and 1458mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2630mm, equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and a top speed of 210 kilometers per hour.
I remember when I bought the Audi A3 last year, the manual stated that the first maintenance should be done at either 10,000 kilometers or one year, whichever comes first. I took my car in at 9,500 kilometers, and that service was quite simple—just an oil change and filter replacement, along with checks on tire pressure and the brake system. The mechanic mentioned that the first maintenance for a new car is crucial for protecting the engine to avoid costly repairs in the future. He advised new owners to book an appointment in advance and not exceed the recommended mileage. If you do a lot of high-speed driving, it might even be wise to do it a bit earlier to ensure peace of mind and hassle-free driving. A well-maintained car runs more smoothly, whether for daily commutes or weekend trips. Developing good habits helps extend your car's lifespan.
