They are stating £930 for a modified venitlation cover. They are now saying that the warranty dept are advising it may not be covered even though I have comprehensive warranty. haha. Its not an oil leal ***. i am waiting for their response before i let them know that A. Why does it need to be a modified cover when the original one clearly isn't up to standard and thus FAILED. They should never have installed it when they made the car and B. I am covered for "mechanical failure"
Andy, did you get any paperwork to say what the part number of the new cover was?
"Requires software update and ventilation cover 06 103 547h.. 4.80"Andy, did you get any paperwork to say what the part number of the new cover was?
They advised it was 5 hours labourThank you for that, I'll look up the parts listing and see what this means, I think the few weaknesses with that engine are PCV and thermostat, though each involve quite a bit of deep intervention, for me, ideally I'd just get in there and do that to avoid any annoying surprises - maybe!
Edit:- right, yes that is the PCV valve that is included in that assembly, fair enough, nothing unusual.
Another Edit:- the number should be 06E 103 547H
Got the car back today. Been told to 'take it easy' for 500 miles. Not a single penny paid. They wouldn't give me a detailed job report for some reason, I think because there was no charge. They even listened to me not to clean the car!
Let's see what happens...
Hi all,
Becoming increasingly concerned by my recent findings since discovering my oil level was low approx a week after purchasing the car. Purchased 1st June with 61k on clock.
I used to own a MK 1 TT 225 Quattro however, it used to drink oil...
I've now bought a MK2 TT 1.8 tfsi roadster and I absolutely love the look of it. It drives beautifully but history is repeating itself on the oil front.
I only owned my last TT for over a year due to experiencing the dashpod fault and having poor service experience with Audi and therefore, I wasn't too bothered that the recent one I've bought didn't have FASH. Most of the services have been done by a local garage to where the car was originally from.
The problem is, it's consuming approx 1L of oil in 650-700 miles. Now I'm fully aware of the fact that this would fail Audi's consumption test but if they're not going to do anything about it due to my lack of Audi service history, is it even worth me getting the test done?
I'm stressing so much about the fact that I absolutely love this car and even considering my poor history with cars, I actually thought this one would be a keeper. I'm honestly sat here panicking about the fact that I've just part exchanged an 18 month old car for this because for once, I thought I'd treat myself and now I'm left with a car that could potentially have serious problems if I don't get the problem resolved.
I clearly can't afford the engine rebuild with Audi as much as I would love to if I had the money, as the car is beautiful to look at and drive. Just makes me so angry that Audi know they're at fault with the design so why aren't they just saying "Sorry, we'll sort them all". Absolute joke.
Is there anything else that could be wrong instead of this likely issue?
Urgh. Feel sick to the stomach if I'm honest.
Last service was July 17 @ 59k where spark plugs were replaced following a fault code present for cyclider 1 misfire.
Any help/info/advice would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks,
Krissy
Ok so today on my way home the oil light came on saying top up 1 litre but still safe to drive. Now considering I had new pistons, con rods etc almost 2 years ago FOC by Audi I’m a little concerned as it’s the first time the oil light has come on since the repair.
Now I know these Audi’s are thirsty on oil and I do drive it hard at times so maybe it’s just natural consumption but still got me worried that the issue has come back (can it come back after the repair??) My local mechanic changed the oil I’d say within the last 12 months so not as if is been 2 years since oil changed, by which I’d expect a little top up.
Has anyone else experienced this AFTER the repair?
Thanks in advance
Just following along with this I got my car back last Thursday (finally) and have done approx 300 miles in it. Checked the mmi today (I know this isn't an 100% accurate measure) but the oil level is showing at about 1/4 of the way down. Surely this can't be right already? I didn't think to check this when I picked the car up in just assumed they wouldve filled it. Is this something to be worries about?
Personally I can see your concern, but I think that you will need to wait until you do know that that engine is drinking oil at an excessive rate. No sensible Audi dealership's workshop is going to book that car in and run tests on the fact that "lots of them are drinking oil and need fixed" - it is operating a business so needs to ask for cash when providing a service. Now if/when things do look bad, and you have contacted Audi UK maybe they will approve a FOC oil test.
Edit:- remember they are taking say for example 40 cars through their workshop a day, if your car uses one of these time slots and they are being expected to pick up the costs and hope that Audi will "see them alright" - that will affect their performance, now if you were a very good customer of their's then maybe they might take a chance on getting the money back, but it sounds like as a new Audi owner, this is the first and maybe the last they will see of you.
So I bought my B8 avant (Just 29k mileage) this weekend and although I havent seen an excessive use of oil just yet, I thought I would go to my local dealer and request for an oil consumption test as I do around 200 miles a week. Quite a few of the advisors didnt really know about this issue and the one who did requested that if I wanted the test done, I would have to pay for both parts of the test. Unfortunately, the service manager was unavailable and am awaiting a call back to discuss further, just wondering if anyone has had to cover the cost of the tests in the first instance?
Thanks in advance!
If only. I wouldn’t have been less disappointed with the car if I did drive it like that all the time.
I received multiple £1000 bills for things going wrong way before the engine issue. The timing chain failed within the first year of ownership. Luckily at the lights otherwise that would have resulted in a new engine! The last straw was 4 new shock absorbers a month after having the engine rebuild.
My wife wasn’t happy I bought it in the first place because of all the problems I had with my previous B6, but the issues pailed into insignificance compared to the B8.

Okay that's good, given a slight peace of mind. I've had a read through all pages here and seen all the success stories so my fingers are crossed.you should be okay if you have full audi service history. Go to your local audi dealership- the oil consumption test is free. The guy at audi uk is talking sh-it.
First of all your car will probably be ok as the fault was from 2009 until mid/late 2010, so is your car is a 2011 it should be ok anyway. I Conan pretty much guarantee that if you have any problems and you have that service history then you will get the work done free of charge , also you do not pay for the oil consumption test . But as I said I think your car on that plate will be fine
