Plan d’maintenance Audi S3 Cabriolet (8V)

Launched in `2014`, the `S3 Cabriolet 8V` brought Audi's compact performance formula into an open body style that has become genuinely rare. Against a Porsche 911, it plays less as a pure passion car and more as a fast convertible you can use every day. On the used market, that balance is exactly what makes it appealing, provided the car has not been neglected.

Under the bonnet you mostly find the `2.0 TFSI EA888` `CJXC`, paired with `S tronic` and `Haldex`-type all-wheel drive for roughly `300 hp`. The base is solid, but the cabrio adds weight and is more sensitive to cars that were only half maintained. A good `S3 Cabriolet 8V` should show a clear service history, a healthy turbo, clean warm-up behaviour, a fluid `S tronic` and a coherent chassis sitting on four matching tyres.
