Where a hybrid Audi A3 e-tron / TFSI e needs a closer look
- Inverter and converter. Power electronics are scanned for stored faults and overheating history.
- Battery cooling. Vents and cooling for the high-voltage pack are checked, as blocked cooling shortens battery life.
- Engine–motor transitions. On the road we check that the switch between petrol and electric drive is smooth and fault-free.
- 12V system. A flat or weak 12V battery causes baffling faults on hybrids; we verify it is healthy.
- High-voltage battery. We read the hybrid battery data for state of health and weak cells, since a tired pack is the costliest part to replace.
