How often should I come in for Audi Q3 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

What causes a Q3’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Is it possible to reset the Q3 malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended.
