Скрипят опоры
Ходовая часть Audi Q3 просит первого ремонта достаточно рано. Например, опорные подшипники переднего McPherson из-за беспрепятственного выхода смазки часто начинают поскрипывать и похрустывать ещё до 50 ткм.
Подшипник, потерявший смазку
К 100 000 км можно готовиться к более серьезному ремонту подвески. К этому моменту обычно приходят в негодность сайлентблоки передних рычагов, причем владельцы Q3 приспособились ставить резинки от заряженной версии RS – они жестче и выносливее. Другое дело, что комфорт тоже страдает.
Сайлентблоки передних рычагов иногда примеряют от заряженных версий Audi Q3
Амортизаторы, как и ступичные подшипники тут живут примерно
по 150 ткм, в зависимости от манеры езды и качества дорожного полотна в вашем
городе.
Лопнувший нижний виток пружины
Задняя подвеска Audi Q3, а точнее сайлентблоки многочисленных рычагов, неплохо сохраняют свои заводские детали на протяжении первых 200 000 км, а дальше нужно быть готовым срезать развальные болты, так как к этому моменту они намертво прикипают:
С рулевым управлением проблемы встретишь не часто. Стоит
периодически следить за пыльниками рулевой рейки, иначе дорогостоящий узел ждет
выход смазки, коррозия и уход на покой вместе с электроусилителем под стуки
увеличившихся люфтов. Такие случаи бывают.

View of the vehicle after the crash showing the airbags and damage to the occupant compartment.
The rear passenger dummy’s head approached the front seatback, which increases the risk of head injuries.
Rear passenger dummy injury values indicate a low risk of injury to the chest and a moderate risk of injury to the head or neck.
The rear passenger dummy’s lap belt moved from the ideal position on the pelvis into the abdomen, increasing the risk of abdominal injuries.

Двигатели
Наибольшее распространение получили версии с 2-литровым бензиновым турбомотором.
Типичные неисправности – преждевременное растяжение цепи ГРМ и увеличение расхода масла – характерны, прежде всего, для 2.0 TFSI поколения gen.2. В 2013 двигатель был модернизирован (поколение gen.3), и проблема раннего растяжения цепи и масложора была изжита.
Для обновления цепного привода ГРМ понадобится сумма порядка 35-40 тысяч рублей.
Нередко избавиться от повышенного расхода масла удается после замены маслоотделителя на модернизированный (2-7 тыс. рублей). Мало того, неисправный маслоотделитель приводит к неустойчивой работе двигателя на холостом ходу и падению тяги.
После 100 000 км приходится обновлять катушки зажигания (2-3 тыс. рублей за штуку).
Вскоре, с приходом холодов, замедляется прогрев двигателя в машинах с S-tronic. Двигатель и «робот» пользуются одним контуром системы охлаждения. Виновник – термостат коробки (2-3 тыс. рублей).
Эпизодически доводится ремонтировать и турбину, точнее, актуатор (10-20 тыс. рублей).
Базовый 1.4 TFSI появился в 2014 году. Серьезных жалоб на двигатель от владельцев Ауди Ку3 пока нет.
Не возникает претензий и к 2-литровому дизелю. По опыту использования агрегата в других моделях концерна VAG первые проблемы встречаются лишь после 300 000 км.
2.0 TDI получил ременный привод ГРМ. Регламент предписывает его замену каждые 150 000 км. Новый комплект доступен за 8-15 тыс. рублей. Вместе с ремнем механики советуют обновлять и помпу, которая может потечь (1-5 тыс. рублей).

Rear passenger dummy injury values indicate a low risk of injury to the chest and a moderate risk of injury to the head or neck.
The rear passenger dummy’s lap belt moved from the ideal position on the pelvis into the abdomen, increasing the risk of abdominal injuries.

Low beams On the straightaway, visibility was good on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good on the sharp right curve and fair on the gradual right and both left curves.
The low beams never exceeded glare limits.
High beams On the straightaway, visibility was good on the right side of the road and inadequate on the left side. On curves, visibility was fair in all 4 tests.
High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle’s low beams on the straightaway, on both left curves and on both right curves.

Low beams On the straightaway, visibility was inadequate on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was inadequate in all 4 tests.
The low beams created some glare.
High beams On the straightaway, visibility was fair on the right side of the road and inadequate on the left side. On curves, visibility was inadequate in all 4 tests.
High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle’s low beams on the straightaway and all 4 curves.
