Hi all sorry if this is in wrong topic

Ive Just brought a 2018 audi a3 saloon

Its a 1.5 petrol auto

Absolutely love it and want to keep on top of maintenance.

Never owned an audi or a petrol always had diesels.

My question is other than general services which I do around 5/6k

Is there anything I should look out for i.e commen failures.

Mine has the cod and ive heard bad things about it.

Thanks

Welcome Luke.

Can we take it you have a record of its previous service history, to know - as a base point - what has been done and what hasn’t -?

Mileage?

Will you be doing your own servicing and maintenance?

Regards,

Gareth.

Guy i brought off couldn't find logbook or spare key so not great start but says it was serviced about 3 months ago.

Thats all the info on service I have but I always do my own services normally every 6 months ish

Current mileage is 52k

As first first audi and first petrol so all new to me.

Thanks for replying

Hello Luke,

As you say - not a good start - so you don’t know how long he has owned it - if he did have any claim to its ownership.

Can we take it you have now received a ‘clean’ V5 in your name?

I would treat the 3 month ago service as if it never existed, and as a minimum, I would run an on-line VCheck on the car (cost £9.99) to see what else you don’t know about it, before spending anything on it.

Please come back to us when you have more details, and I’m sure we can advise on future servicing.

Regards,

Gareth.
