I've got a 2001 TDI which was serviced at 10,000 miles after I purchased it last year. At 17,000 miles the oil light came on, so I took the car to my local Audi dealer who told me that the oil level was low and it would need 1 litre of oil( at £10/litre and not readily available elsewhere!!). I was told by the dealer that this is quite normal, as the long service interval means that topping up the oil every 7,000 miles is quite normal, whilst on long journeys a top after 1,000 miles can be called for.
As I own a number of other cars which use fully synthetic oil and which are driven very hard (unlike the A2 ) and rarely use any oil at all, I find this difficult to believe - although 30,000 miles is a long time!
Has anyone else found this and been told the same story by a dealer?
By the way, my original supplying dealer must win the prize for the most inept dealership ever - to the extent that they have seen fit to refund over £1,000 in compensation!!
