What each repair involves on the Q2, when to inspect or replace, and what our invoices say it costs
The figures are from our invoices. Scheduled maintenance follows the requirements for your car's engine, gearbox and model year; other repairs are assessed from symptoms, inspection and diagnostic results rather than a universal age or mileage. The notes under each repair are general guidance for cars driven in Singapore, not statistics.
Gearbox oil changes on the Audi Q2
20% of the Q2 registrations in our records had at least one invoice involving this work (10 of 49, 10 invoices in all). On the bill, this item typically came to about $200 (10 recent priced bills, GST included; other work on the same bill is not counted).
Gearbox oil lubricates and cools moving parts while hydraulic circuits use it to control shifts. Old or contaminated fluid may show up as hesitant, rough or delayed changes, or as noise from the transmission. If ignored, heat and debris can accelerate wear and turn a fluid service into a larger internal repair.
We inspect for leaks, assess fluid condition and use ODIS to read transmission faults and live data. We document the findings and give an honest quote before work starts, then carry out the fluid service and replace a leaking seal only where the evidence supports it.
Service interval: Follow the interval and fluid specification for your gearbox and model year; they differ between gearbox types even within one model, and we confirm them for your car. Where the maker lists no change for the life of the car, ask us whether a preventive change makes sense for your gearbox and driving.
Maintenance and early warning signs: Use the specified fluid and fill procedure, with the filter where your gearbox has a serviceable one, and avoid hard launches while the gearbox is cold. Fresh fluid is maintenance, not a cure for a gearbox that is already faulty. Early signs: a burnt smell, dark fluid, shifts that have become rough.

Brake pads, discs and wear sensors on the Audi Q2
12% of the Q2 registrations in our records had at least one invoice involving this work (6 of 49, 6 invoices in all). On the bill, this item typically came to about $600 (middle half $550 to $650, 6 recent priced bills, GST included; other work on the same bill is not counted).
Brake pads press against the discs to slow the car, while wear sensors warn when friction material is running low. You may hear squealing or grinding, feel vibration through the pedal, or notice a brake warning. Waiting can score the discs, overheat nearby parts and increase the repair scope.
ODIS checks for brake-system faults while we measure pad material and disc thickness, inspect the wear sensors and look for uneven braking. We document those results and give an honest quote before replacing only the worn pad, disc or sensor parts supported by the checks.
When to inspect or replace: Pads and discs are measured at every service and replaced by thickness and condition against the limits for your car, not by mileage. Discs are judged on the same measurement, not on a fixed number of pad changes.
Maintenance and early warning signs: Brake early and gently, leave a gap so you roll instead of stopping at every light, and use engine braking on long descents; stop-and-go traffic wears pads and discs faster. Early signs: squeal, grinding, a pulse through the pedal, a wear warning on the dash.

Spark plugs and ignition coils on the Audi Q2
12% of the Q2 registrations in our records had at least one invoice involving this work (6 of 49, 6 invoices in all). On the bill, this item typically came to about $200 (middle half $150 to $200, 6 recent priced bills, GST included; other work on the same bill is not counted).
Spark plugs ignite the air and fuel mixture, and ignition coils supply the high voltage they need. A failing part can cause rough running, hesitation, poor response or a warning light. Continued misfiring can overheat the catalytic converter and place extra strain on the engine.
We use ODIS to review misfire data, inspect the plugs and test the coils under load. We document the results and give an honest quote before replacing the failed ignition part, without changing unrelated components by guesswork.
Service interval: Spark plugs have a scheduled interval that depends on the engine and plug type, and we confirm it for your car. Ignition coils are replaced on diagnosis, not on a schedule, and a misfire does not by itself mean a coil has failed.
Maintenance and early warning signs: Keep to the plug interval and have misfires checked early, because unburnt fuel can damage the catalytic converter. Early signs: rough idle, hesitation, a flashing engine light.
Brake hydraulic and ABS repairs on the Audi Q2
10% of the Q2 registrations in our records had at least one invoice involving this work (5 of 49, 6 invoices in all). On the bill, this item typically came to about $300 (middle half $200 to $350, 6 recent priced bills, GST included; other work on the same bill is not counted).
Brake calipers apply the pads, hoses carry hydraulic pressure, and the ABS pump and sensors help the car retain control under hard braking. A fault may bring on an ABS warning, cause pulling, create a soft pedal or leave a wheel dragging. Delaying a check can damage pads and discs, weaken braking response or allow a fluid leak to worsen.
We scan the ABS system with ODIS, compare wheel-speed signals, inspect hoses for leaks and check each caliper for binding. After documenting the fault, we give an honest quote before work starts and repair or replace the failed hydraulic or sensor part, not the entire brake system.
When to inspect or replace: Calipers, hoses and ABS parts are diagnosed and replaced on a confirmed fault. Brake fluid is changed on the time schedule for your car, because it absorbs moisture.
Maintenance and early warning signs: Change brake fluid on schedule, have the caliper sliders serviced at pad changes, and act on a pulling or dragging brake at once. Early signs: a soft or long pedal, pulling to one side, a hot wheel after driving, an ABS warning.
The repair price can move with the parts needed, access, related wear and faults found during testing. The figures are guides from recorded work, not a quote for your Audi Q2.
