Hi Guys
Just another update
Visited main dealer today .......needed to get a touch up stick for a stone chip
Got chatting to the salesman who sold me the car.

Audis official line id that 2.0 tdi's do burn oil - this will settle after first service and as engine ages.
They had just taken a large delivery of 1L bottle of the "long life" oil which is priced at £16:95 a throw.
The service manager expalined that the amount of oil I was burning was to be expected as it was a "turbo-charged " vehicle.
I asked about changing to a thicker viscose oil but he said this would knock the service times down to a standard 10k instead of the 2yera 20k intervals so I wouldn't see any financial benefits.
I mentioned about adding Wynns Diesel Protector - HE SAID THIS WOULD NOT INVALIDATE ANY WARRANTIES AS THEY USED ALL WYNNS PRODUCTS TO FLUSH ENGINES ON SERVICES.
I am going to wait a week or so and add half a can and see if that improves the situation.
Any others heard anything ?
