Sports service

The latest incarnation of the Audi RS3 in either hatchback or sedan form is a masterpiece of engineering with a fire-breathing 2.5l turbocharged petrol engine and a lighting-quick seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox that sends power to all four wheels. Unlike older RS3 models, the latest variants feature four-wheel drive systems with what the brand calls an RS Torque Splitter, which is essentially a single electrically controlled multi-disc clutch system on either side of the rear drive shaft, allowing for torque vectoring.

What is covered under Audi RS3 Sedan manufacturer car warranty?

The Freeway maintenance plan runs for a period of 5 Years or 100 000km whichever comes first. Audi has slightly changed up the service intervals and services should now occur every 15 000km but not longer than every 30 000km. The easiest way to ensure that services are carried out periodically, is done by the vehicle itself. Warnings will flash up on the driver instrumentation letting you know that it's time to take your vehicle in.
