Just doing some research before a potential buy.....does the new S4 drink oil like some Audis doo?
The short answer is no. I've had mine for ten months ( 2009 plate) and have not noticed a thirst for oil. For example, from central Scotland to central France and back with two or three hundred miles while over in France, a total of 2000 miles, it required a top up of less than a litre of oil.
Sounds like a great trip, did the car behave?
Sorry to hijack the thread.
Yup! Lucky enough to have a 'second' home over there. Usually go out about three times a year...... especially summer! The S4 has done the trip 3 times since I bought it with no problems at all, in fact it loves the empty roads! The only damper has been the incredibly high kerbs in most towns, but I've learned my lesson now although the 19" wheels don't look as good as they once did! Still Christmas is on the horizon, so who knows..............................
I've had mine from new for 6th months, this week the oil level was down to about a 3rd over the minimum level on the mmi so I added 1/2 of a litre which brought it back up to just over 3/4s above the minimum.
I may look into getting a dipstick from the dealer just to reassure me that there is oil in there!
