Problem description:
The camshaft drive belt may not be resistant enough. Consequently, it may break or lead to the camshaft-phaser screws to loosen up and the engine oil to leak onto the roadway, increasing the risk of accident to following traffic.
The Audi A3 models affected by this recall were manufactured between December 2013 and September 2014.
