Hi I’ve just joined the forum as wish to start to service the car, a petrol q3, myself. My first problem is finding the correct maintenance manual. EBay are selling download versions for 2011 to 2018 or 2020 to 2022 versions mine was registered September 2019. I’m prepared to buy both if necessary but wondered if anyone could help with narrowing down the search. If it’s any help the oil filter is a metal can type

True, but I would personally prefer a paper manual that would not be damaged by falling on the ground or having a greasy spanner dropped on it. Maybe that says more about my age than I care to admit.
