Hello, sorry I’ve been in and out today. I’m taking it to get fully checked over on Friday, hopefully that will answer my questions

Typer pressures are good as just did these. Tyres are a good question though, the garage added these when I got it, they may well need changing for better ones

Thanks. I was just wondering what others’ experiences were, as I had read in reviews (eg Parker’s, what car etc) that the ride was firm.

Soft in comparison to pretty much all other cars I’ve had, one of which to be fair was a BMW, but also a Giulietta, Mito, Mercedes CLC and a Mercedes C Class estate.

Hello all, I have a 65 plate q3 Quattro s line, had it a few months now. The suspension is now starting to really bother me and I’m now starting to wonder if it’s normal or not? Upshot is, it’s a LOT softer than I would expect, given it’s meant to be the “firm” suspension, generally quite wallowy in corners, bouncy on uneven roads and is rather “barge” like. Is this normal? Driving in dynamic and sport mode helps with the slow throttle response but seems to have no affect on suspension or ride. Any thoughts? It’s my first Audi so wanted to check!

Yes checked the online bits before viewing it, and service bits when we viewed. All good!

Thanks for the follow up! Yes all good, they’re doing a full service before collection of the car. It’s very different to what I’m used to driving (a petrol bmw 228!), very noisy starters but that’s diesels for you eh. hopefully collecting it in a few days all being well.

I’m looking at buying one of these, same age and similar mileage, very reassuring!

Hello all! So sorry for not replying sooner, I had expected to receive a notification to say I had a reply but only just received one now to say I have been “warned”. Really sorry everyone. i found the replies really helpful, and am viewing the Q3 this weekend. Fingers crossed!

Hello all! I’ve recently moved and fairly urgently need a 4x4 due to the highly rural area I live in. As such, I’m going to be looking at a used 2015 plate Q3 diesel Quattro S-line in the next few days. It’s higher miles than I’d like (96k) but price seems good and it’s a well established garage. Anything I should be on the look for in terms of servicing etc?
