2 Answers
Audi A3 maintenance items include engine oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, cabin air filter, transmission fluid, brake fluid, spark plugs, and coolant. Below is a detailed introduction to Audi: Overview: A German luxury car brand, its logo consists of four interlocking rings. Audi is one of the oldest car manufacturers in Germany. Currently a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG, headquartered in Ingolstadt, Germany. Models: Main models include the Audi A3, Audi A4, Audi A5, Audi A6, Audi A7, Audi A8, Audi Q2, Audi Q3, Audi Q5, Audi Q7, Audi Q8, Audi TT, Audi R8, as well as the S and RS performance series.
I've been driving an Audi A3 for several years, and there are quite a few maintenance items to keep up with. The top priority is changing the engine oil and oil filter, roughly every 10,000 kilometers, to keep the engine running smoothly. The air filter needs replacement about every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers; otherwise, dust buildup can affect cabin air quality and performance. The braking system requires regular inspections, including the pads and discs—I usually check them every 20,000 kilometers because safety is non-negotiable. I also frequently check tire pressure since deviations can increase fuel consumption and damage the tires. Spark plugs should be inspected or replaced around every 60,000 kilometers. I once delayed replacing them and ended up with slower starts. Transmission fluid is worth considering for replacement at high mileage, around 60,000 kilometers. Don’t forget the coolant, which needs maintenance every two years, and pay attention to the cabin air filter in summer. After forming these habits, my car rarely has issues, runs more reliably, and saves on future repair costs.
