    Oil in a 2.8 Quattro

    My 2.8 used half a litre per 1,000 miles, but if I 'had fun', a litre. As a thought, it might be worth checking to see if the correct dip stick is being used, or get another one from a breakers, but check engine code. Most engines find their level, and dipsticks are seriously mass produced...

    2.8 QUATTRO For Sale

    A5 3.0Tdi Quattro is what is wanted, but the business needed a new van (VW T5 174bhp) and just ordered new 'Big Toy', so might have to wait 6 months or so.:racer:

    2.8 QUATTRO For Sale

    If I had had something to contribute, I would have done, if it pains you that I only use it to sell, try looking at it from the other side. To keep these cars within us enthusiasts surely has to be for the better. :racer:
