►The Audi MQB platform is nearly ten years old now, which means that most of the suspension and brake systems are either due for an overhaul or are very soon to be. While most of this is standard for any new car, you should be aware of some intricacies of the Audi A3 & S3 MQB platform.
The MQB Audi platform, specifically the A3 and S3 spans a wide range of years, from 2015 straight through 2020. They suffer most of the common maintenance issues with newer European cars. No matter what you do, bushings, ball joints, bearings, shocks, and struts will begin to wear out and fail. The same goes for the brakes, especially on the S3. With the added performance capabilities of the S3, you can expect the brake pads and rotors to wear faster and the brake fluid to need replacing more frequently.
Join us as FCP Euro's Audi Catalog Manager, Aaron Davis, gets up underneath these cars to show us everything we need to look out for on the suspension and brakes when owning one of these Audi A3s or S3s.
