Can anyone tell me what the correct grade of oil is for my A3 1.4 40 TFSI e PHEV?
Nowhere in the owners manual are these specifications listed, a serious omission IMO

I collected my vehicle today after it's first oil change service at 9000 miles.
Oddly when I dropped my car off, the Audi dealer queried the model as my Reg wasn't coming up against anything.


On picking up the car today and browsing the invoice when I got home, details such as VIN and Registration were correct but the Model is shown as a 'A3 Saloon Edition 1 35 TD'

The oil used is stated as Shell AVLOW 0W-20 . Suffice to say, I'm a little concerned that the oil for a 35 TD might have been used. Prior to the dealer answering my query, suffice to say, I shall be sticking to electric mode wherever possible!
 
I actually went to my service book, checked where it was serviced and called them. Mine has 0w-20 Castrol.

Should be a sticker on the slam panel
Mine is a 35TDI and has the oil spec you mentioned

No sticker here!... More Audi cutbacks?!

Anyway, thanks to Darren for confirming it is 0W-20. I can relax now!
