2 Answers
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.
