Hey, 55t km really isn't that much. But the way you describe it, it could really be the camshaft sensor. It was similar with my A4 B8. We had the same symptoms and at first I didn't know what was going on either. The car wouldn't start from time to time and when it did, the power was gone and the engine ran quite rough. The garage then replaced the camshaft sensor and it ran like clockwork again. I had to pay 200 euros at the time. That should have included the work and the replacement of the sensor. Good luck and keep us posted on how it was resolved for you.

Hello! I am experiencing issues with my 2015 Audi Q3 Diesel. The indicator light is on, the engine stalls, and there's a noticeable loss of power. It has 45,250 KM. What steps should I take to fix these problems? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Based on the symptoms you've described, it could be a problem with the camshaft sensor, similar to what LudwigSpeedy experienced. However, it's best to start with simpler checks first. Check your fuel quality and levels, as well as your battery's health. If these are fine, consider getting a diagnostic scan at a garage to confirm if it's the camshaft sensor or something else. Remember, if you're not comfortable doing these checks yourself, it's always safer to consult with a professional mechanic.

Hey, I once had a similar problem with my 2015 Audi A3. My camshaft sensor was also defective. I had it repaired in the garage for 185 euros and since then my car has been running perfectly again.
