How to Check the Remaining Fuel in Liters for Audi A3?
4 Answers
Audi A3 method to check the remaining fuel in liters is: 1. Start the vehicle to see the fuel level; 2. Check the instrument panel, where there will be a fuel level indicator at the bottom right; 3. Alternatively, locate the instrument panel control lever behind the steering wheel to switch the displayed content; 4. Press the button on the outside of the lever to switch to the remaining fuel in kilometers. The fuel tank cap is located at the rear right of the vehicle. Avoid driving the vehicle when the fuel level is low. The Audi A3 is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 140 kW, a maximum torque of 320 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5000 rpm, and a maximum torque speed ranging from 1600 to 4000 rpm.
I usually drive an A3 and am accustomed to checking the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument cluster—the grid display for remaining fuel is quite intuitive. If you want to calculate the actual remaining liters, here's a handy trick: press the VIEW button on the left side of the steering wheel to switch to the trip computer interface, then use the scroll wheel to navigate to the 'remaining range' screen. At this point, long-press the VIEW button to see the real-time remaining fuel quantity in liters. This method is especially useful on highways—I often rely on it to plan refueling stops. Additionally, install the Audi Connect app on your phone and bind your vehicle to check remotely, which is handy for confirming fuel levels before heading out. If the fuel level drops below 10%, the system will automatically issue a warning—a thoughtful design touch.
When I first drove the Audi A3, I was also puzzled by the fuel level display issue, but later found it super simple. Using the multifunction buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, you can toggle between 'range' and 'remaining fuel' in the driving information interface. If you select full-screen map mode in the virtual cockpit on the center console, the liter count will be displayed directly next to the fuel gauge in the bottom right corner. A quick glance while driving gives you a good idea, though in actual use I've noticed a 2-3 liter discrepancy between the display and the actual tank - reportedly due to fuel pump protection design. For more precision, you can reset the trip odometer after each fill-up and calculate it yourself using average fuel consumption, which is what I enjoy doing during my commute.
Checking the fuel level on the A3 is actually quite smart. Rotate the selector on the left side of the steering wheel to switch to the vehicle status menu, and you can see the specific remaining liters. If you've enabled hidden features, you can also display the remaining fuel level directly in the permanent area of the instrument cluster. My car is equipped with a HUD, so the remaining fuel level and range are always displayed on the windshield projection. Additionally, the infotainment system has a 'Fuel Consumption History' statistic that allows you to review the fuel level changes for each trip over the past month. It's a good habit to glance at the fuel gauge every time you start the car, especially before long trips. When the fuel warning light comes on, there's only about 8 liters of fuel left in the tank.
