Hey, thanks for your quick reply and your help. My Q3 has 209670 km down so far and the last service was about 3 months ago. Regarding your questions, I've noticed that the problem occurs regardless of temperature and I haven't noticed any difference at different speeds. It seems to be random, but increasingly frequent. I hope this helps you.

No problem, I'm happy to help. Now that I have more details, I think it's possible that something is wrong with your tire pressure monitoring system. On my Q5 it was a cable problem, but on your Q3 it could also be a sensor or the ECU. Since your service was only recently, the tire pressure was probably adjusted and the sensors should also have been checked. I would therefore recommend that you have a diagnosis carried out at an independent garage. They might find a cause that was overlooked during the last service. Hopefully this will help you and it's nothing too serious. In any case, the problem in my car went away after the repair and hasn't reappeared since. Good luck!

Hi. Audi a3 2014 sedan. My problem is heatet brackes. The car senses a the preshure changing, but it dont know if its higer or lower. So whene the brake get hot, the preshure gets higer and it alarmes on preshure. Sorry about my pore eng skill, its not my first language
It sounds like your brake system might be overheating, which can be a serious safety issue. I would recommend getting your brake system inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible. They can check the brake fluid, brake pads, and the entire brake system for any issues. Please let us know how it goes and if you have any further questions.

Hello, I had this problem just after changing a tire, after 20km my puncture indicator came on, no loss of pressure, so I reset the pressure in ODB but the error remains continuous as critical. What can I do? My garage told me they couldn't see anything wrong.
It's possible that the tire pressure sensor in the new tire is faulty or not properly calibrated. Try to inflate the tire to the recommended pressure, then reset the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) again. If the error still persists, you might need to replace the TPMS sensor in the new tire. Please keep us updated on your progress and let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi, I have some experience with cars and your problem sounds similar to a problem I had with my 2013 Audi Q5 gasoline. On my car, the cable connection to the tire pressure monitoring system control unit was faulty. I then went to my garage and they diagnosed the fault and repaired it. The whole thing cost me 155 euros, which was actually quite fair. That solved the problem. Could you please give me some more information about your car? That would help me to give you more accurate advice. For example, have you noticed if the problem occurs when it's cold or only at certain speeds?
