The maintenance interval for the Audi Q3 is every 10,000 kilometers or once a year. Here is more information about the Audi Q3: 1. The dimensions of the Audi Q3 are 4385mm*1831mm*1608mm (including roof rails), with a wheelbase of 2603mm. Thanks to the aluminum engine and the application of some lightweight technologies, the body weight of the front-wheel-drive Q3 is only 1500kg. The Audi Q3 offers 12 color options, with the base model equipped with 215/65-R16 tires, while the higher trim upgrades to 17-inch wheels. The ground clearance of the new car is 170mm. 2. The Audi Q3 comes with three four-cylinder engine options. The standard gasoline model is powered by a 170-horsepower 2.0TFSI engine, while the top-tier Q3 model features the 2.0TFSI engine from the Q5 with a maximum power output of 211 horsepower, enabling a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 6.9 seconds. The 2.0TDI diesel engine delivers a maximum power of 140 horsepower.

I've been driving an Audi Q3 for three years, and when it comes to maintenance, you really can't rigidly stick to the manual's recommended 10,000-kilometer interval. Last time, the technician at the 4S dealership showed me the air filter they removed—after just 8,000 kilometers of stop-and-go city driving and short trips, it was completely clogged with dust and lint, and the engine sound had even become muffled. Since then, I've switched to getting it checked every 8,000 kilometers or 8 months, whichever comes first—especially for owners who frequently drive on construction sites, where air filters need changing even more often due to dust. Before the rainy season, I also personally inspect the wiper blades, as the rubber deteriorates particularly fast in the humid southern climate. Driving with poorly performing wipers is downright dangerous.

What does 8AT mean in cars?

8AT refers to an automatic transmission with 8 forward gears. The following is an introduction to automatic transmissions: 1. AT stands for automatic transmission, also known as automatic gear. It has the advantages of easy operation, comfortable driving, and reduced driver fatigue. 2. The automatic transmission consists of a hydraulic torque converter, planetary gear transmission, and control mechanism, which can automatically change speed and torque according to road conditions. The following is the working principle of an automatic transmission: The pump wheel and turbine form a working pair, similar to two fans placed opposite each other. The wind blown by one fan will rotate the blades of the other fan, with the wind acting as the medium for kinetic energy transfer. If liquid is used instead of air as the medium for kinetic energy transfer, the pump wheel will drive the turbine to rotate through the liquid. By adding a guide wheel between the pump wheel and turbine, a speed difference between the pump wheel and turbine can be achieved through reaction force, enabling speed and torque changes.

Does a squeaking sound when braking mean the brake pads need to be replaced?

Vehicle brake disc and pad replacement limits are: brake discs must be replaced when single-side wear reaches 3MM, and brake pads must be replaced when remaining thickness is 3MM. The following are reasons for squeaking sounds during braking: 1. Rust on brake discs or pads: After prolonged parking, especially in humid climates or after rain, some rust or dirt may form on brake discs or pads. This usually resolves after driving for a while, or you can apply butter or specialized lubricant at the connection between brake pads and calipers. 2. New brake pads: New vehicles or recently replaced brake pads may produce similar sounds. New brake pads and discs require a break-in period, and such noises during braking are completely normal. However, if the sound persists after extended use, there may be an issue. 3. Excessive wear on brake discs or pads: Both components are high-wear items that experience friction during every brake application. Long-term use naturally causes wear, and excessive wear will produce abnormal sounds, necessitating regular inspection and replacement. Typically, brake pads should be replaced every 60,000-80,000 kilometers, while brake discs should be replaced every 100,000-120,000 kilometers.

Why does the booster pump keep running when not in use?

The following are the reasons why the booster pump keeps running when not in use: 1. Water leakage in the pipe connected to the booster pump: Due to the decrease in water pressure in the pump chamber, the pump restarts to replenish the pressure. Because the water output is very small, the pressure quickly rises to the set value, causing the booster pump to stop maintaining pressure. When the pressure is reached, the water pressure will drop due to leakage, and the booster pump will replenish the pressure again. 2. The check valve of the booster pump is of poor quality: Since there is no water in the outlet direction of the pump, the pressure is quickly replenished, and the booster pump immediately enters a dormant standby state. The reciprocating cycle causes this obvious shutdown phenomenon. The solution is to replace the one-way check valve with one that meets quality standards. 3. There is a problem with the control system of the booster pump: When the control system malfunctions, the water pump will not work, and the pressure disappears once the pump stops.

How to check if ETC has been processed?

Bring your ID card, vehicle license and other documents to the ETC service outlet and consult the staff to check whether your vehicle has ETC. Here is some relevant information about ETC: 1. The full name of ETC is Electronic-Toll-Collection, which translates to electronic non-stop toll collection system in Chinese. The biggest advantage of this system is that it works 24 hours non-stop. 2. ETC is generally installed in the middle of the front windshield of the car, directly behind the rearview mirror. This ensures accurate ETC identification while not obstructing the driver's view. 3. The on-board electronic tag installed on the windshield communicates with the microwave antenna of the toll station. When passing through the toll station, the system settles accounts with the bank through computer interconnection technology, thus achieving non-stop toll collection.
