Evening all
LOVING my a2 but having an issue.
The last 2 months, ive had the 'low oil' DIS warning beep off at me. Of course i topped up immediately (a lifetime of french cars means there ALWAYS spare oil in the boot!)
Between the first low oil warning and 2nd warning (today), i have serviced the car.
Notable things
- about 1500-2000 miles between oil issues
- no clear leaks on the driveway
- undertrays look clean (no leaks)
- no signs of smoke (of any colour) on startup or under load
- no misfires
- when serviced, all the sparkplugs looked OK, a good spark.
- when serviced, i didnt notice any oil residue on the block, suggesting no leak
Ive read the BBY engine Oil consumption can be up to 1/2 litre per 1000 miles. I am above that for sure.
What do you guys think?
Cheers
Johk
