What does the engine failure warning light on my Audi Q3 mean?
Years 2018-2025

Answer

When the yellow engine failure warning light comes on on your Audi Q3 you need not be alarmed. In fact, most likely this only 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.
