2015 Audi A3 Engine problems

I have an appointment at Audi of Richmond on Wednesday 08/19/26 and was told to have the car there on Tuesday the day before the appointment to fix the recalls. I called Audi USA roadside assistance and also the actual dealership about a complimentary tow based of the fact the reason it stop driving was because of one of the recalls. They said they can't cover it because they can't confirm that was the cause that keeps it from driving which confuses me because a fuel pump recall should trigger a stop drive anyway because of fire hazard at the very least. I will upload pictures of the scanner codes that let me know it was the fuel pump recall.

Blown turbo with propeller broken off lodged into the pre-catalytic converter, which caused damage to the catalytic converter/exhaust requiring a new turbo and a complete new catalytic converter and exhaust system. They also found major oil leaking from the upper timing cover gaskets, which I later found documented on the accounting service record as not repaired at that time few months from my purchase. These known engine damages were a major contributor to the engine failures that I'm faced with today. Oil...

Consumer bought this car at 30,040 miles. The car currently sits with 89,000 miles. I have had 18 recommended service visits totaling $19,240 and then on July 15, 2022 with no pre indicators or warnings the engine dies after a 95k full multipoint inspection that consumer had 3 weeks prior. The car has an impeccable Maintenace record. I did everything the dealer told me; and I still almost died on the 101 fwy going 70 mph on a conference call; the flashers didnt even work; the car dead and came to a hard halt and...

Coolant leak from faulty water pump. This is a known issue from numerous models of Audis and has been the subject of recalls and extended warranty campaigns - but not on this particular model. I was forced to pay for the replacement of this known faulty part out of pocket.

The turbo went out prematurely

The engine low oil light keeps coming on, the oil has been changed already, I've had the car for more than 7 months I haven't even driven it over 5000 miles yet. Audi needs to fix this. The power train is also the same, some days it works okay and some days it doesn't. The cars struggles sometimes to even reach speeds up to 50 mph.I've taken this vehicle to the Audi dealship as well as to a foreign certified mechanic shop. They can't figure out the problem. The engine light should not be coming on randomly when I have fully serviced the vehicle. Audi please fix these problems.

Check engine light came on in october 2020 car was slow to take off for several weeks and seemed to take time to shift gears. Took to audi mechanic and had to replace water pump -w/thermostat housing & intake manifold. Now I'm april 2021 car is back in shop because it wouldn't shift out of 1st gear suddenly when I was driving with my daughter in the car, I pulled over in a parking lot to turn car off and then got an error message stating transmission malfunction cannot reverse and had to have the car towed to mechanic again. I'm told it needs mechatronic unit replaced, replace timing cover due to oil leak, evap leak and wiper fluid is leaking.

After recent car inspection due to recall for passenger occupant detection I was informed that water pump was leaking and it needs to be replaced. Vehicle has only 55 000 miles on it. Other audi models appear to have the same issue and they have been recalled, however no recalls have been issued for audi a3 2015. As a manufacturer audi must take the responsibility for faulty parts and it should replace them on their own expense.

The water pump/thermostat housing is leaking coolant out of the engine. This occurs on nearly all mqb chassis vw/audi's with the ea888 gen 3 2.0 Tfsi engine. It is a widely known issue.

Car engine stopped working while in moving down the road. The car would not accelerate above 10 miles per hour. Check engine light came on without warning as the car stopped functioning. Passenger air bag was disengaged and indicated it would not deploy even though a passenger was sitting in the seat. Severe injury could have occurred if the car had been rear ended when the car stopped working. Car had been in for maintenance at all predesignated manufacturer's suggested mileage points without indication of any issues. *Js

Excessive oil consumption car has 2,300 miles left to the 10k oil service check change and showing low oil. This is not normal audi is trying to say to just top off the oil, yet excessive oil consumption will cause the car to need engine replacement earlier than it should at about 70-80-100k miles at best. There are many complaints and a class action that involved this issue but they refuse to do more than change oil and check for leaks when they know it is due to defective parts and I am under a certified warranty until october 2019

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 audi a3. While driving approximately 10 mph, the vehicle shut off without warning. The vehicle was restarted, but the failure recurred and the check engine indicator illuminated.

Lost compression at only 43,670 miles to fourth cylinder. Engine was rebuilt by audi dealer. Found pieces of oil control ring from a piston in oil pan, air leaking through intake, seating surface for intake valve number 2 on cylinder 4 was burnt and unable to seat properly due to spring on that valve being weaker than others.

Check engine/ epc- both lights have signaled a dozen times. The first few times the dealership called them "misfires". Eventually the car "symptoms" started to progress: when car is idling, car starts to act like it is about to stall. Then it progressed to hard/jerky shifts into 1st or 2nd gear. Now even at higher speeds it starts acting up- giving the feeling that the car may stall. This is a daily issue. Twice now car has failed to accelerate while entering highway. The worst situation occurred when car...

2015 Audi a3. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle engine compartment fire. *Ld the consumer stated the engine compartment caught fire. The vehicle sat in an open air site without a hood or windows, exposed to the winter elements. 13 Days later it was inspected by the manufacturer, who determined the failure to be due to rodent nesting activity. *Js

Vehicle was in motion on highway traveling at 65 mph. Engine ceased without warning. Absolutely no power or engine noise when accelerating. Vehicle went from 65 to 0 mph in seconds. No steering control as well!! Could have been killed. Head of service at audi dealership says that it happens all the time & audi is doing absolutely nothing. Said do not take car back...They're playing "russian roulette" with your life and won't do anything until someone gets killed.....Updated 06/21/17 *bf *cn

At 5 months - engine almost overheated. Car towed to dealer where they found the fan and computer module failed and had to be replaced. At 7 months (current issue) - warning light came on and advised that brakes failed. Dealer found that the master brake cylinder failed. Internal camera showed seals failed and were leaking. This car is too new for such a major part to fail this way.

My vehicle suffered loss of power and as a result too much of hesitation , it behaved as if it is about to stop on highway.It is a new car and thought it could be bad gas , changed gas station made sure gas is not an issue and hesitation/loss of power continues. I was about to schedule an appointment for service but dealer called me saying my car's vin number has been listed for an imp update in order to prevent failure of certain components and people in germany are looking forward to get this fixed asap i.E...

I bought a brand new 2.0 Audi a3 from the dealer this may. I got a low oil warning with only 2700 miles on the car, and the oil is dark and dirty compare to the loner car I got. It has been three times I brought my car back to the service department in the dealer, but they never solved the problem. First time, they toped up the oil. After two weeks, the oil was low again, so I brought it back. This time, they changed a new oil tank cap for me, but two weeks later, the oil was low. I drove it back to the...
