Hi there, just though I would ask the greater public if anyone has had problems with high oil consumption in their Audi engines.
I bought my first Audi 6 months ago, a 2002 2.4 Cabriolet. In the time since then I have had to top up the oil with 5x 1litre top ups, works out to be about 1litre every 1000miles.
just booked it in for a health check as it is an approved used from my local dealer and is still under warranty from them. However the service reception were reluctant to take it as they quote the oil spec to be half a litre every 600 miles. That fits with my consumption rate but I cant help thinking that this is way too much oil use for a modern engine.
Has anyone else had the same problem?
