Amigo, o câmbio do A3 deixou de ser o DQ200 em 2016. Passaram para o Aisin Tiptronic 6 marchas entre 2016 nacional até 2021.

O atual S-Tronic 7 marchas utilizado no Novo Audi A3 a partir de 2022 é outro câmbio, e esse é banhado a óleo.

China has begun the second phase of energy assistance to Cuba with a 120 MW solar generation plan, and the first result is a photovoltaic park with batteries that regulates voltage, controls frequency, and provides local autonomy to an island suffocated by chronic blackouts.
