What maintenance does an Audi Q3 require at 70,000 kilometers?
2 Answers
Audi Q3 requires an oil change, oil filter replacement, and a full vehicle inspection at 70,000 kilometers. The importance of regular maintenance: The performance of functional components (including lubricants) gradually decreases due to factors such as wear, aging, and corrosion. Under normal driving conditions, this change occurs gradually in many parts. Since no two vehicles are used in exactly the same way, it is impossible to predict that each part will experience the same wear and aging. Therefore, the manufacturer specifies certain inspection intervals to adjust and replace components that can be expected to change over time or with use. This is called "regular maintenance." Restoring vehicle performance: The purpose is to restore the vehicle's performance to its optimal condition, prevent minor issues from becoming major problems, ensure vehicle safety, and achieve better economy and longer service life.
I just had my Audi Q3 serviced at the 70,000-kilometer mark. As an owner, I believe this maintenance is crucial for keeping the car running longer and safer. I focused on several key points: First, changing the engine oil and oil filter, as oil lubrication is vital for the engine—not replacing it by 70,000 km can lead to internal wear. Next, I had the brake system inspected; if the brake pads and discs are heavily worn, they need replacement to ensure safe stopping—I had the technician measure their thickness. I also had the tires rotated to ensure even wear across all four wheels, extending their lifespan. The air filter and cabin air filter were replaced to prevent dust from affecting engine performance or indoor air quality. Don’t forget the spark plugs—their ignition efficiency drops with higher mileage. My car starts smoothly in one go, saving future trouble. Additionally, I included a transmission fluid check—if it’s an automatic Q3, watch out for fluid aging causing jerky shifts. Overall, this maintenance gives me peace of mind while driving. I recommend booking the dealership in advance to avoid issues. The cost is reasonable, but it’s worth it in the long run!
