I'm at about 44k now.

I expect that car to hit about 80-100k (4-5 years time) before I sell it and I don't envision any major issues. This being said I'll continue paying Audi the £500-800 a year for the warranty to have peace of mind, so that if something does happen, I won't need to worry about it.

Also, I don't think the Oil consumption issue will show itself on a car with 40-60k out of the blue. If it's going to be affected, it'll probably already show symptoms now, so if you buy from a decent second-hand dealer - or Audi - I'd assume you'd be fine?

They evidently like the current 1.8 TFSI engine as a very similar one is now in the new Audi A6 with a remap to 190 PS but not many other changes from what I could tell.
