Used Audi A3 8P Reliability | Most Common Problems Faults and Issues

[@Richard_L_Y]

Plus (additional to headliner failure in all VAGS) MULTIPLE sensor failures, inc. ESP module in ABS (i.e. not merely faults); auxiliary heater very early failure (solder joints?); good you got front severe (inner?) tyre wear where camber (which can't easily be adjusted and most mechs won't even look at) goes way out (and then needs a compromise setting between that and caster? (but change (and upgrade) both control arm bushings at the same time?).... etc...

Every car has such problem among so many cars made,but A3 stands out as high up on "no problem list"! Myself my A3 2.0fsi quattro is now up for soon 20000km! Almost no corrosion on chassi, same brake pads since new, after long trip 2000km in high speed almost all carbon build up is gone,turbo is great in accerlation, so guys this is a Premium car for shure!

[@mrandreas7102]

When driving, prnds flashes and car goes into limp mode (loses power). Must stop car and turn off. After turning on again, will drive and will happen again, only doing it when I drive it pass the speed of 230 km but when I drive 200km nothing happened

Safety limits, nothing problems

Iv got the A3 2.0tfsi quattro sline, so far iv replaced the manifold plus the dsg was serviced, iv Gotta get the timing chain done and the engine resealed. That's gonna cost 4/5k coz Englands a rip off now

[@SvetlyootSofia]

What about 1.6 petrol engine, 102 hp, 2010?

[@brdgrill3653]

bad

[@Richard_L_Y]

'Head' or 'Headliner'? Yes they all fail (and drop!); a well known issue and fault with VAG's; that's hard to get anyone to want to replace (too easy to break things removing it?); but DIY'abel if you can get the correct replacement upholstery material and do it right?

Who bloody cares about such old cars. Make videos on more recent models man it's 2021 for Godsake.

[@rubenVS100]

It’s 2022 and everybody loves old cares

[@brazy5006]

Not everyone affords 2021 cars my friend, and there are so many older cars better than new ones so...

[@jasonrodjana209]

theres an audience for everything brudda

[@57MJMJ]

Also most newer cars would be under warranty so you wouldn't need to look out for these problems as the manufacturer will fix it ? This is more for people buying second hand cars, so they can look out for common problems

[@d-metod3906]

Some ppl can't afford new cars you ratballs, we drive old and cheap ones
