I’m seeking advice about my 2021 Audi Q3. I bought it a year ago, and it has less than 40,000 miles. Now it needs a new engine.

The replacement quote is $34K by a local Audi Dealership where I’ve done all maintenance, which is more than the car is worth, and I still owe money on it. I can’t afford the repair, and selling the car won’t cover what I owe.

What other options should I consider? Has anyone else dealt with this?

Find an Audi that was rear ended and do an engine swap.

I am quite curious as to what caused the engine to need replacement, especially if it was maintained by the dealer.

Why does it need a new engine? And is it under warranty?

Audi has a 4yr/50k warranty

Sorry this sounds like a bunch of BS coming from the dealer. The only time I've ever seen a need for an engine replacement with that low of mileage was when the engine seized due to a lack of oil.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. You should open a case with Audi USA. I did it for our SQ7 with persistent electrical issues. They review the case, problem, and service records to judge next steps. The dealer has no interest in helping, but Audi USA gives you a chance. I would also check your VIN to see if there are recalls affecting you. Finally, if that all fails, consult a lawyer.
