Hi all,
I am currently considering purchasing a 2017 1.4 TFSI A3 S-line saloon s tronic. It's a great looking car, but I recently narrowly avoided getting stung when I almost went for a 1.6 Diesel without knowing the full facts about Dieselgate, so I am a little hesitant to complete the purchase without getting some feedback from users of that engine.
I have found online some reports of excessive oil consumption with some 1.4 and 2.0 litre TFSIs. Some disappointed drivers and mechanics are pretty strong in their advice that the TFSI engine should be avoided as a result. I understand this problem is not that widespread, but when it occurs can be a real pain to resolve.
I'd be really grateful if drivers of the 1.4l TFSI could let me how they have found the engine to perform, particularly regarding oil consumption?
Is this a problem I need to worry about?
