2016 Audi S3 - Low Coolant Warnings
S3 Owner, 05/14/2016
2016 Audi S3 2.0T Prestige quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)
6 months and 7100 miles. Have had a low coolant warning appear twice. Audi Bulletin advises that air gets into the system during production or when refilled during previous repairs.
* Update. Problem has not reoccurred. At 17k and car is performing well.
* Update. Nearing the 30k mark and have not had any additional issues. The S3 is still a fun to drive car that performs … well.
* Update. Approach 40k. The car has been solid. Lots of power and fun to drive. The B&O sound system makes the commute so much better as well.
*Update. 48k+. No issues. Car is running great.
*Update. 67k. Started smelling antifreeze around the 49k mark and the dealer found no ‘leaks’. At 55k dealer dismissed my concerns again. At 58k got a low coolant alert. Dealer found the water pump housing to be ‘cracked’. 1600.00 to replace it and the water pump.
Update: 78k miles new APR plugs & Coils. New rear shocks and struts installed just to increase the handling.
Last update: 95K Sold in 2021. No issues since the water housing issue at 55k.
So my honest opinion. I would never buy an Audi again. Sure it is fun to drive for awhile. B&O system sounds great and the car is peppy and still handles great. But the car eats tires and the maintenance is just stupid. Dealers are always hours behind no matter when you show up or schedule an appointment.
Like they say hindsight is 20/20. Looking back probably the most regrettable purchase I have ever made. *Update. When sold I was able to get about 40% of its original purchase price.
