I have a 4.2 8v TDI...
Recently i've started to get the MIN oil warning light appear on the dash. This started happening once every 2 months or so, now its happening every 2 or 3 days after topping up oil. In less than 800 miles ive put in 1 litre of oil!. I've had the car for 13 months its a 2007 and its only started happening in the last 3 months.
The dipstick reading is TRULY AWFUL on this car. Its hard to read exactly what it is.
After topping up a bit the reading is all over the place. I can't work it out. Manual states to leave it on a flat surface and read it 20 mins after a warm engine. I am following the manual perfectly fine.
Here is a dipstick reading on a flat level surface with the engine warm (as instructed in the user manual). This is ONE reading, and a picture of each side of the dipstick!.......

The engine tray is bone dry, so its not leaking oil anywhere.
But where is this oil going?.
Why is the dipstick near impossible to read properly?.
Hope i can get some help as i've posted on another audi forum in the Q7 section but its been 18 days and zero replies!.
