One problem related to wiring has been reported for the 2012 Audi A3. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2012 Audi A3 based on all problems reported for the 2012 A3.
After starting the car and driving about 50 feet, the vehicle driver display screen signaled that multiple exterior lights had failed simultaneously. Sensing that multiple light bulbs would not fail at once unless there was a larger electrical problem, I promptly made an appointment at the local Audi service center the next day. After diagnosis by Audi technicians, I learned that the fuse box under the hood had melted due to overload of circuits or wiring in the box. Had I not taken the car in for repair, the overload could have caused a fire in the engine bay. I researched this problem online and found other occurrences experienced by Volkswagen/Audi vehicle drivers with the same symptoms. Please add this incident to your record of cases. Thank you.
