The maintenance cost of Audi A3 is relatively high. It provides a 5 - year, unlimited - mileage warranty. The first maintenance is required at 10,000 kilometers or 1 year, and a free minor adjustment is provided, which includes engine oil and filter replacement with no labor cost. After that, the maintenance interval is also 10,000 kilometers or 1 year.
The cost of a minor adjustment at the original factory is about RM1,463. The cost of a routine maintenance at 60,000 kilometers is about RM11,645. The maintenance cost per 10,000 kilometers is about RM1,940, and the price of a routine maintenance at 100,000 kilometers is about RM21,745.
Compared with some models in the same class, the frequency of some maintenance items for the Audi A3 is higher and the cost is a bit more. For example, its maintenance cycle is 10,000 kilometers or 12 months, while the BMW 1 Series has a maintenance cycle of 15,000 kilometers or 12 months, so the engine oil and filter of the Audi A3 need to be replaced more frequently.
However, if you choose non - original maintenance, the cost can be reduced by about 30%. But you need to carefully choose the repair shop. When the car is used for a long time or has covered a long distance, the maintenance cost will increase. Reasonably planning the maintenance schedule and developing good driving habits can control the maintenance cost to a certain extent.
