Oil Consumption Issie

Featured Replies

Wondering if someone can help me please 👀

I have a 2014 Audi A3 2.0 TDI Quattro S-Tronic. The car is using approx 0.7L per 1000 miles. There are no oil leaks that are visible on the ground or in the engine bay. The DPF is regenerating probably twice a week. The car runs absolutely fine, no power loss, no warning lights, no smoke. I’ve read on ChatGPT it could be the turbo seals or PCV valve? I’ve had a quick chat with a mechanic who has said the car isn’t smoking because the DPF is catching the oil but also said it could be a number of things that could be wrong with it. Anyone had this issue before and what was the problem / outcome. 

TIA 😎

Welcome Rebecca,

There have been quite a few threads on here about oil consumption over the last year or so, so it would be well worth doing a forum search on the subject, then coming back to us once you have digested the comments posted. 
Regards,

Gareth.

@Magnet I’ve put oil consumption into the search bar but not really found a similar issue. 

Apologies Rebecca, I believe there must be something wrong with the search facility. I’ve tried even searching for just Oil - and nothing found. I will alert Forum Admin to this issue.

Perhaps you can just scroll back via ‘Latest posts’. Anyway, it could be due to the termed ‘skinny piston rings’ era which I believe your model year may fit into, but not sure if it affected the diesel engines.

Will look into it further in a couple of days or so, if you don’t get any more responses meanwhile. 
Regards,

Gareth.

Ill have a look and thank you very much it’s appreciated. 

Hello again Rebecca,

Mystery now sorted:-

Input Oil consumption into the search bar and select ‘Everywhere’ from the drop down menu. That should link you to the appropriate threads, but please come back to us for any ongoing concerns. What I would say is your oil consumption level could be lived with, compared to what others use. 
Regards,

Gareth.
