Hello,

I've been driving my Jan 2004 A6 (2.0 Petrol, 4cyl, 20V) since November 2006 when i bought it with 95k on the clock.

It's had a full service history, mainly at dealers, but I've always wondered why it uses about 1 ltr of oil every 1,000 miles or so.

Some people (inc RAC man when I was having the coils changed) have told me that its normal for this engine. But then I know people with A4's that have the same engine that never have to put in any oil between services.

Has anyone else been able to fix this kind of problem as the longlife oil is expensive!

Cheers,


Fred.

That is just about acceptable.
