Audi UK doesn't recommend changing the belt at 5 years on the 1.5TFSI. They wrote to me the following: "the timing belt change interval on your vehicle is every 15 years or 180,000 miles whichever comes first."

According to what I was told by Audi UK for my 1.5 TFSI s tronic: * No maintenance required on gearbox (dry model) * timing belt: every 15 years or 180,000 miles whichever comes first.

I have a A3 1.5 TFSi from 2017. I asked Audi UK today about the cam belt replacement interval. They said: "Audi recommendation for the timing belt change interval on your vehicle is every 15 years or 180,000 miles whichever comes first."

According to Audi UK, timing belt change interval on my vehicle (A3 1.5 TFSI S Tronic, first registered in December 2017) is every 15 years or 180,000 miles. That sounds quite a long time. I had previously seen 90,000 miles. Also, they are advising that no maintenance is required on the S...

If your car is almost 5 years old, then you have another year to purchase the "all in" service plan, which will provide 24 (23) months of warranty from the time of purchase. It needs to be purchased before the car is 6.

You can renew the regular service plan (service, MOTs) for cars up to 100,000 miles. However, once the car is 6 years old, extended warranty and AA assistance is no longer included. Warranty can be bought separately from Audi, again up to 100,000 miles. I have checked, and if bought...

Yes, it's the "all in plan" over 24 months: 2 Services 2 MOTs 2 years of AA road assistance 23 months of warranty (since no claims can be made the first 30 days) I think it's available for cars up to 6 years old, so it would be the perfect timing for me to buy now (my car will be two years old...

But would that extended warranty be any different from the normal warranty? For instance, if I have an issue with the car electronics, driving assistance or the gearbox (expensive items), surely they would need to cover those? Looking at third-party extended warranty, they seem to be £100+ a...

Not sure if my car has got a dry or wet DSG. Apparently, models with engine smaller than 2l may only have a dry DGS/S-tronic, and therefore not require any oil change? For the timing belt/chain, I read 90,000 miles?

Hi, My Audi A3 1.5 TFSI S Tronic is almost 6 years old, but low mileage (33,000 miles). Maintenance has been done properly. Audi is quoting £803 for 2 years of Service Plan (or £33.49 per month). Currently, I spend: £240 a year for oil service/MOT (done by Halford) = £480 over 2 years £80 a...

Interesting to see that people have replaced rear pads before front pads. I would have expected the front brakes to take most of the load.

Hi, What would be the typical mileage done before front brake pads and discs have to be replaced, on a A3 with S-tronic, driven gently? 30,000 miles? 40,000 miles?

Hi, I can't find the paper service book in my car. What should be the typical service (apart from oil change, currently done once a year)? My car is 67 reg (December 2017), around 30,000 miles. Apart from changing oil, replacing the tires, brake fluid (once) and the battery (once), no...

To conclude this thread, regarding a new battery for my 2017 A3 TFSI 1.5: I ended up ordering an AGM replacement battery (Varta E39) instead of an EFB one (original battery), as the price difference was not that much. Varta seems to be exactly the same as the Bosch S5A08 (same factory) but...

On a 3.5 year old car, trying to invoke the warranty on a battery would seem to be a waste of time.

They told me I had to go to a dealership in person so that they could check my IDs and paperwork and update the system. I did that yesterday, but still getting the same error today:

Thanks for the warning. My car has suffered a couple of times in the past some random warning signals being displayed once driving or starting the car: pretty much every single error code displayed every 5 seconds, and not even related: "front camera off", "tyre pressure warning", "start and...

Quite strange really: if the battery management system can sort itself out, then why indeed the need for some settings? Outside of cars, most battery chargers don't need to know the battery capacity to charge properly. On the other hand, it might be useful for the car to at least know a new...

Was it a direct replacement? Same battery?

Actually, that site is only suggesting AGM batteries, when the original battery is EFB. Not as reliable as Tayna or Amazon
