  1. Hi guys, I bought one from amazon but it didn't fit, ended up going to audi but you have to buy the top unfortunately you can't just get the clip, was over £70.00 but had to be done.
  2. Hi guys, Had a call from Audi about my oil problem, they have sourced this to be piston rings failing. The cost to repair was £4226.00. Luckily Audi decided to do this free of charge and includes new pistons and cams as well. Not sure if this is due to a recalled part or what but is good news. Having it done in two weeks so will keep everyone posted.
  3. Hello Everyone, I Have a Audi A3 S-Line Black Edition 1.8 TFSI (Petrol), Recently the oil has been burning more than normal, My car's oil light is coming on every 300 miles instead of the usual estimated 1000-1200 miles from Audi.I had the car put on a oil consumption test and it failed at 304 miles before the light came on. Audi are stating to me the only thing they can do is replace the pistons and cams and hope this solves it. unfortunately as you can imagine the cost on this is more than buying a new engine due to the labour costs (estimated 20 hours). Has anyone had an experience with this issue and could be a simple fix (seen something about a choke valve sometimes sticking causing this problem? please help if anyone has any advice!
