Hi All,
I would like to ask some advice regarding my Audi A4 TDI SE (2004 model) which I have recently bought... It is on the long life service which was done last year at about 68K by previous owner...
The car has now done about 82K & long life service not due till about July next year / 8k miles.... I phoned an Audi dealer last week regarding an oil change (as oil looks dirty) & was advised that the oil used is suitable for a 'long life' & that i should save my £ on an oil change until the service is due otherwise it defeats the purpose of a long life service. I explanined to him that the oil looks quite dirty but he said that the engine has oil sensors in it which determine whether it needs changing or not..
Admittedly, the oil change light has not come up or anything so Im not sure whether or not I should change the oil or just wait until the car is due for the service...
Please advise!!
Thanks
Jon
