Question 1

Is the S tronic gearbox in the Audi A3 reliable?

Accepted Answer

Mostly, if it was serviced properly. The seven-speed dry-clutch unit on smaller engines is the more fragile one: on a test drive, watch for jerks or hesitation when pulling away and manoeuvring, which can point to worn clutches or a faulty mechatronic unit.

Question 2

Does the S tronic in an Audi A3 need oil changes?

Accepted Answer

The wet-clutch S tronic, on the 2.0 TDI and the sportier engines, needs its oil changed at the intervals Audi sets, so ask for proof. The seven-speed dry-clutch box has no routine oil change, so judge it by how it drives.

Question 3

Is a plug-in hybrid Audi A3 always automatic?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the A3 Sportback e-tron, the TFSI e and the e-hybrid all come with S tronic only. They also usually pay only the €30 minimum road tax in Luxembourg.

Question 4

Which new Audi A3 versions are automatic?

Accepted Answer

S tronic comes on the TFSI with 116 or 150 PS, the TDI with 150 PS and the e-hybrid plug-ins with 204 or 272 PS, as a Sportback or saloon. The allstreet is offered with S tronic on its TFSI, TDI and e-hybrid.
