Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
- You prefer a higher seating position: this SUV/crossover type may suit. Try getting in and out; the body shape alone does not prove extra seats or four-wheel drive.
- You would prefer less gear changing in traffic: the recorded automatic transmission may suit. Try how this exact gearbox behaves on a test drive.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need servicing to fit a tight budget: Spanner estimates higher maintenance costs for this type. Get quotes for the exact engine and gearbox before committing.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
The 2017 Q3 is the first‑generation/facelift small Audi SUV commonly fitted with 2.0 TDI diesels and a 7‑speed S tronic (dual‑clutch) or torque‑converter auto in some markets. Diesel Q3s have DPF and EGR systems that suffer if the car has mostly short trips; the S tronic needs regular fluid/strainer service. Parts are widely available in Ireland but dealer servicing is pricier than mainstream brands.
- DSG/S tronic service history — confirm clutch/gearbox oil was changed (roughly every ~60k km) and test for jerking, hesitation or fault codes.
- DPF/EGR condition — look for signs of frequent forced regenerations, white/blue smoke on start or stored engine faults which indicate soot/valve clogging.
- Timing belt (and auxiliary belts) replacement history — verify it has been replaced per manufacturer interval (important on a 9‑year‑old 2.0 TDI).
- Turbocharger play and oil leaks — check for shaft play, oil in intercooler pipes and smoke under acceleration.
- Underbody and rear arches for corrosion, and check rear suspension bushings — a 9‑year‑old Q3 can show wear/corrosion around tailgate and wheel arch seams.
