Malfunction of the ABS/DSC system in the 2012 Audi Q3 petrol engine: experience and solutions wanted

Hey, I had the same problem with my Audi Q5, built in 2010. I'm not a car expert, but I do have a bit of experience with it. In my case, the cable connection from the ABS sensor to the control unit was defective or oxidized. I had it checked at the garage and it cost 350 euros to fix. Can you perhaps provide more information about your vehicle? Then I might be able to help in more detail. Hope this helps you a little!

Hey, thanks for your reply! My Audi already has 157812 km on it and the last time it was checked was during the service about a month ago. Up to that point everything was running pretty smoothly. The ABS/DSC system has only recently started causing problems. I hope this information helps. I will take your advice to heart and get the sensor checked. Thanks again buddy!

Hey, no problem, always happy to help! Now that you've given more details, it sounds even more like a problem with the ABS sensor or the cable connection, like on my Q5. Since your Audi has quite a few miles on it, the connections could simply be affected by general wear and tear. As it has only recently started causing problems, you could either have the ABS/DSC system checked first or check the cable connections just to be sure. It would be a shame if you had the wrong suspicion all along and had to incur the cost of unnecessary repairs. I hope this helps you and your Audi is back in shape soon. Good luck, buddy!
