Cool, I suspected I can hoon with a good reason now. Watch me destroy the dsg next.

The A3 is so unsatisfying to thrash though. I really want to sell the thing but don't want to until VAG pay for a new engine.

I seem to vaguely remember a story about Audi’s consuming excess oil in the USA. It was the subject of a law suit. I had presumed that Audi had sorted the issue out. The figure was 1 litre of oil per 1000 miles. Might be worth a google. A known fault should be less hassle for them to adrrsss. .

Yep, thanks for that. It is a known issue (my car is MY11) and they did sue in the US and there was similar action in the UK. There's an official product bulletin but I've already had to jump many hoops to get to this stage. It's nuts, it's their manufacturing fault .
