Hi all my wife bought a A3 1.8t 10plate start of the year. It's under warrenty from the garage we bought it from, but since we've got it, it's gone back 3 times due to oil consumption. The first time they said it was the turbo and that was changed with a new one fitted. Since then it's been back every 4 weeks, after 3 weeks the oil light comes on and te oil is gone. It's done about 55k, and she does around 300mile a week. The garage rang Audi last week and Audi have said that this engine uses a lot of oil. But 2-3L every 4 weeks seems excessive!

Sorry, I had a quick glance down the front page to see if there was another thread but missed it! Feel free to delete this thread. Neil

Hi all New to the Audi scene, my wife bought a A3 1.8t 10plate earlier in the year but it's drinking more oil than me at a free bar. Its under warrenty from the garage we bought it from, the first time we took it back they replaced the turbo, but it's been back twice since and they've been unable to say why it's losing oil. They rang Audi last week and apparently Audi told them that this engine just uses alot of oil. Has as anyone else had a problem with this engine, as I think topping up 2L oil every 4 week is excessive. Neil
