ZULU Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hi all Havent purchased yet but the A3 1.4 TFSI is on my shortlist. I've read some horror stories about oil use. Is there any truth in it? Is there anything else that I should be wary of buying pre owned? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I'd heard that too, but I've now had mine for 15 months, done 8360 miles, and it hasn't needed a single top-up. I appreciate that my experience may not be typical, but I offer it for what it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark R1 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Hi , I have owned mine for 2 years from new and now covered 19k miles with no issues. It is one of the best engines avail today and used in a number of cars. My son has a Seat Leon FR using the same engine again with no issues.

Baggy Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I have only had mine a week, but the Audi dealer did give me a bottle of oil with the car and told me just to check monthly and top up as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
