    What is your MPG?

    Depend who's driving, I get about 33-38, the wife gets 26-28 but she sits in traffic. £65-70 to fill it up, 360-380 miles out of it, all traffic dependent and time of day.

    Possible oil issue with my 2.0tfsi , any help would be great.

    Never heard of it till it happened to us, then googled it which led me here, its all over the web as far as I'm concerned, Audi have washed their hands of it unless your a regular customer. I think the 'German engineering' boat has sand on its *** in a deep part of the sea.

    Thinking on, it started to drink oil but I put it down to it being a common thing, its all internal so signs are hard to see. Another thread her goes the same way and Audi just give him another car...not an easy fix then, quoted me £6,000 for a new engine

    So, I've changed the battery...

    your not kidding, I had to climb onto the engine to pull the b'strd out, talk about big n heavy, nightmare for access and refitting the retaining bolt to stop it moving about. Disconnect the battery and charge it to full, see whats what. Mine's a petrol, does a diesel react differently I wonder ?
