Final update on the oil consumption. It used .37 of a litre in 1000kms which by my calculations is virtually 6 litres per 10,000 mile (ie in an average year). And that is "within acceptable tolerances". Such a cop out - i have yet to come across anybody who thinks that amount of oil usage is normal.
Update: so they do the consumption test (drive the car for 690 miles, weigh the oil before and after blah, blah!!) and surprise surprise it is "within the tolerances". So when you buy an Audi now best budget £10 per month for oil as well. They did say one of the reasons it uses a lot is because...
I know what the manual says but I have had this engine (1.8 tfsi) in a Golf, Leon, Ibiza Cupra and never had to put a drop of oil in between 10k services, so when did 1ltr per 1,000 miles become normal? Any other person i talk about it to is amazed at how much oil I am using.
An update on my life with my first Audi: So they have the car for 3 weeks because they have to replace both clutches and they dont have the right tools to do it (this is an Audi main dealer!), the cambelt and covers are replaced where the oil leak is, they balance all four wheels. All seems ok...
Car went in today (actually to sort out vibration problem) I mentioned the oil issue and guess what - its got a leak!!! I also mentioned a juddering on the dsg when moving off and the dealers reporting it to Audi. Then to round of the day went out in the A4 Quattro courtesy car and it broke...
Took my A3 in today (purchased in August with 15k on clock) to have vibration over 70mph looked at. I mentioned that I get a juddering on the dsg when moving off from stopped (seems to start happening after been driving for about an hour). They now tell me that they noticed it and are having to...
Purchased my first Audi at the end of August. Its a 59 Plate 1.8 Sport with 16k on the clock. Previous car was a SEAT Ibiza Cupra which I p/exed because of the oil consuption problems with the 1.4 180bhp engine across the VAG group. I went for the 1.8 A3 because I have had that engine before in...
Some advice/comments please. Had my A3 Sportback a month now and love it, after 4 SEAT's the quality difference is noticeable. BUT - when I bought it there were odd tyres on the front (and different but matching ones on the back which is odd as it only had 15k on the clock) and after much...
