On the 2021-2023 Audi Q2, japan MLIT campaign GAI-3692 covers specified 2021-2023 Audi Q2 35 TFSI and 35 TDI vehicles. An incorrectly installed power-supply connector at the interior fuse carrier can work loose, interrupting electrical power to the engine, instrument display or lighting. Steering and braking remain available, but an engine shutdown or loss of lighting can increase crash risk. This published scope is market- and VIN-specific.

Common Symptoms

  • Engine may switch off while driving
  • Instrument display may lose power
  • Exterior lighting may stop operating

How to Fix

Check the VIN and open-campaign status with an authorised Audi dealer in the vehicle’s market. The campaign remedy is dealer inspection and correction of the fuse-carrier power connection. Do not replace a fuse box or wiring harness solely from a warning lamp or this model-year summary.

On the 2016-2022 Audi Q2, owner reliability surveys for the Q2 repeatedly flag faulty infotainment and minor electrical issues as the most common complaint type. The MMI screen can freeze, go black and reboot itself (sometimes while driving), and dashboard warning lights appear with no obvious cause. Causes are usually software bugs, corrupt phone-pairing/Bluetooth data, or communication glitches between modules rather than a failed display panel. Many faults are inexpensive while under the 3-year warranty but can become costly afterwards, and owners report long parts lead-times.

Common Symptoms

  • MMI screen freezes or goes black then reboots
  • Infotainment restarts while driving
  • Spurious dashboard warning lights
  • Bluetooth/phone connection dropouts

How to Fix

Apply the latest MMI software update at an Audi dealer; clear/re-pair the phone if corrupt phone data triggers it. A manual MMI reboot (press-and-hold the power/volume knob ~10 seconds) clears temporary glitches. Persistent faults may require a head-unit or module replacement.

Typical repair cost:$0 - $900

On the 2016-2022 Audi Q2, q2s fitted with the 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch gearbox exhibit jerking when pulling away, a delay/lag in shift response, and uneven gear changes, most noticeable in stop-and-go traffic. Owner reports and reliability surveys describe these symptoms appearing relatively early (often ~20,000–40,000 km). Underlying causes range from clutch-pack wear and worn solenoids to mechatronic-unit faults and overdue fluid; in worse cases the gearbox drops into limp mode.

This issue also affects: Audi A1, Audi R8, Audi RS3

Common Symptoms

  • Jerking/shuddering when setting off
  • Hesitation or delay before the gear engages
  • Rough or uneven gear changes in traffic
  • Transmission warning light / limp mode

How to Fix

Start with a transmission software/adaption update and a DSG mechatronic fluid-and-filter service at the correct interval; if symptoms persist, diagnose and replace the clutch pack or mechatronic unit as required. Address promptly to avoid limp-mode and further wear.

Typical repair cost:$250 - $3,000
