What does the yellow engine fault warning light mean in the Audi A3 Sportback?
Years 2012-2019

Answer

When the yellow engine failure warning light comes on in the Audi A3 Sportback, it most likely indicates a clogging of the particulate filter. The car will carry out the regeneration procedure itself but it is important not to interrupt it. The start of the procedure is recognizable due to a change in the engine sound and a higher than normal idle.
