Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the DFTC engine.

Engine DFTC in the Audi Q3 2.0 TDI (88kW) (2015–2019) commonly faces issues like DPF clogging, EGR valve failure, and turbocharger wear. Diagnosis involves checking for fault codes via OBD-II, inspecting the DPF for excessive soot, and testing EGR valve operation. Preventive measures include using quality low-SAPS diesel, regular long drives to aid DPF regeneration, and timely oil changes with manufacturer-recommended fluids. Solutions often require DPF cleaning or replacement, EGR valve cleaning or replacement, and turbocharger inspection or repair. Early attention to warning lights and routine maintenance can significantly reduce costly repairs and improve engine longevity.
