RE: A3 - oil consumption
This may be a stupid question but how do you know how much oil has been consumed. My dip shows exaclty halfway btwn min and max at 3500 miles. How can I tell how much has been consumed?

RE: A3 - oil consumption
I just changed my oil at 10k miles. I followed all of the recommended break-in procedures and I am not burning any noticeable amount of oil. I do drive it hard every day and, if I am burning any oil, it is less than 1/4 of a quart. Last oil change was at 5k.

RE: A3 - oil consumption
Just hit 30K on my 06 A3 2.0T. I'm having the same problem with excessive oil consumption. My oil light came on this weekend and when I checked the dipstick it was dry. I called the dealer to report the problem and make an appointment to bring the car in. They acted very concerned and said to "plan on leaving the car" for a few days. I think Audi knows what the problem withthis particular engineis and doesn't want to publicize it. More to follow....

Wanted to add my info. My 2006 A3 2.0 T is burning oil at 1 Qt every 1600 miles!
I even had the dealer change the oil (which I paid $$$ for) at 10,000 and 20,000 mile intervals (ontop of the other oil changing intervals). It now has 23,000 miles on it, and Audi is giving me the "we have to perform an oil consumption test" Which I was lead to believe they did last time I was in.
High compression or not... there is no way an engine should be burning oil that fast!

RE: A3 - oil consumption
Having two other Turbo charged 4 cylinder engines, (1 Subaru and 1 Saab) I can say I experienced very little oil consumption from both. I do not have the Audi yet but if I run into anything out of the norm I will let you know.
I would be interested to know how these oil consuming engines were initially broken in?
