Hey there,
I have had a look around on here and could not find any discussions on this.To be fair I am not very familiar with this forum.So I am gonna just ask....hope that's ok for a first post for ages.
Sadly my 2009 A4 3.0 TDI V6 SLine has been replaced although I'm sure someone is hooning around in it....Still miss it tho as I have turned sensible and bought an A6 2.0 tdi 190 in August 2024.I was assured it had had an oil change prior to sale at around 61K miles.Fast forward to today and around 65K miles so its not doing a high mileage and lots of short journeys...I know this is not ideal.However the oil level has not budged at all, actual mileage 4350.It seems noisy under the bonnet and the fan has started coming on after short journeys, however I have only noticed this very recently as the weather has got warmer.No low oil light warning...My spidey senses tell me it doesn't seem right.I am hoping that someone with a similar Audi may know more about normal oil consumption.I cannot see a plug to allow a dipstick but that does not mean it isn't there....if it is where is best to get the correct one?? I am tempted to put very small amounts of oil in gradually and run it to see if I get an overfill light.
Any advice from similar experience would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.
OOPS I may have posted in the wrong group as it's a 2015 C7.....not familiar with this forum.....
