Common problems and easy repairs on a 2017 S3

The 2017 Audi S3 Premium Plus is a difficult car to maintain. All of the lights are LED and will require entire housing changes whenever any of them burn out, which will make for lengthy procedures. You’ll need to use tools and make a cramped reach to access the cabin air filter in the back of the glove box, which won’t allow for reliable changes. Checking the transmission fluid will be a problem as there is no dipstick, and you must crawl under the vehicle in order to drain it.

However, the 2017 Audi S3 Premium Plus has its upsides. The engine coolant reservoir is quick to find and access, allowing to you monitor the fluid level with reliability. Checking the oil won’t be a problem, either, as the dipstick is easy to reach. The spare tire and jack kit are simple to access in the event of a flat.
