Im new to the forum, just wondering if anybody else has had the reduce the oil level warning light come on? Audi have checked the oil and have decided that they are going to replace the high pressure fuel pump, this is due to high levels of petrol in the oil.
 
Strange that does it not point to bore wash?
I hope there changing the oil too?

They are draining the oil and putting a new filter in it. Let hope that’s the cure as I was dreading the thought it could be coolant contamination (head gasket).

Don’t mean to worry but fuel in the oil is really not good as it thins it so much that it effectively washes the oil off the engine internals and can cause serious engine damage leading to failure. Keep a close eye on that oil bud if there is any fuel get it straight back to them

I would expect this on older diesels but what age is the car? Petrol in the oil can lead to all kinds of issues and a high oil level with fuel contamination could result in damage to the engine as it will reduce the lubication of bearings, as some diesel engine mazda 6 owners found out http://forum.mazda6club.com/engine-drivetrain/264345-2014-mazda6-diesel-serious-problems.html

The car is 6 months old and only done 4K . I did manage to get it in 2 weeks after the light started coming on so let’s hope we got it early enough. Didn't manage to get them to warrant the pitted chrome exhaust tips.
 
The light is back on and waiting for Audi uk to get me a loan car as the dealer hasn’t got one for 3 weeks.
 
Managed to get a car out of Audi UK so let’s see what they find on Monday.
