I've got it on my laptop at home. Can have a look for you tonight or tomorrow. What car exactly? Age, engine code, model, etc, etc?

If you can smell it then it's probably dripping onto something hot (turbo, exhaust, etc). So check around these areas for signs of oil leaking. Even a small amount dripping onto a hot exhaust can smell quite a lot. So just because the car isn't "using" oil, doesn't mean there is no small leak.

***! I would have hoped they properly cleaned it when refitting, but surely it can't have yet another leak?! Terrible work by Audi if it does!

All you get is an oil change, new oil filter and a pollen filter, then a whole bunch of visual checks, all for £386 as you have mentioned. Bit expensive! But that's Audi.

Yes, it does need doing at 38,000 miles. There no age / time limit according to Audi, however I would go for 4 years or 38,000 miles, whatever comes first, as oil will degrade over time. On cars over 3 years old it can be done on Audi's fixed price servicing for £225. The 38,000 mile oil...

Kevlar reinforced rubber ;) Personally, every 5 years or 75,000 miles for me on a standard engine. On a tuned engine or one that is driven hard, reduce the mileage to 50,000 miles, but still 5 years if mileage is less.

Make sure you get PROOF that they used genuine VAG items (oil filter) and approved spec oil. If you have a warranty issue later down the line Audi will demand to see this, otherwise they will tell you tough luck.

Not sure about the S3, but on the A4 there was a revision made in 2014 where the S-Tronic oil filter caps were fitted with a locking mechanism from the factory and also secured with what looks like a cable tie in the diagrams. It even says in the service manual that any earlier cars which don't...

Did you even read my quote of GTAIVgunner?? He said these things happen, NOT me! With respect...read what people write before responding :p

To be honest, my car doesn't do it, so I'm not going to waste my time contacting anyone. However a car where you lose steering feel at ANY speed is a hazard. Like it or not, there is a potential for something to go wrong there, and hence I said VOSA would love to know about that, because they...

You missed the next part of what I wrote in your quote which is what is important....there is no way a system that does it intentionally would gain Type Approval in the UK. If all of your cars do that then I would love to hear what VOSA have to say on the matter, sounds like another VW scandal...

Our B8.5 A4 S-Tronic doesn't do this. S/S will only kick in when the car has come to a total standstill (as it should, anything else is a safety issue that I'm sure VOSA would love to hear about), and to be honest our one seems like it doesn't want to do S/S a lot of the time and will keep the...

Or get hold of the service manual and Do It Yourself! As the old saying goes, if you want a job done properly...... Hope you get it sorted either way.

If he put diff oil in the Haldex mechanism get it out of there ASAP!! The longer it is left the more risk of damage. If he simply drained the geared part of the diff and refilled that with diff oil it is fine, but you still need to get the Haldex service done. Really depends on what they have...

Our B8 A4 is approaching 4 years and as of this year I'm doing all servicing myself including the S-Tronic (DSG) service as I have all the tools inc VCDS. Honestly, I would much rather DIY and know it is done 100% correct than pay someone (dealer or indi) and be unsure if they have done...

The reason Audi say that is because it's an EU law. Legally they cannot force you to use their dealer networks to maintain a warranty, but they can insist it is all serviced at the right time and with the correct part that meet OEM spec (does not need to be OEM parts as such), remember to keep...

Some can, some cannot, depends if the indi has paid Audi for access to their systems to be able to upload the info onto the database. Best ask the indi in question, no-one can tell you for sure but them.

Or course it can be done....the real question is a what price?! On a 2015 car it will not be easy or cheap, that's for sure!

The part number for the oil SHOULD be G055532A2, and you need 5L of it, but you should send a message to @creweaudiparts on here who are a main Audi Dealership that can advise 100% the correct oil for your car based off your chassis (VIN) number. You will also need 2 new seal bolts which again...

Yes, a dealer will never touch it as the unit is "Sealed For Life" at the factory. I put the term in quotes as it DOES still have normal drain and fill bolts, but the official word from Audi, is don't touch it. A specialist may change it for you, but they are all different, so cant comment on...
