I have a new A4 with the 2.0 TDI engine, and so far have used less than a litre in 6K miles. I have a numbers of work colleagues also who have VaG cars with the same engine and none of them are reporting heavy oil consumption. I know that there are regular discussions regarding heavy oil useage on VaG diesel and petrol engines, but I have not come across anyone, 'in the flesh' who have had this problem. My experience so far is about a litre between services on my old 1.9 TDI and it now looks as though my new car will go the same way. Anyone who is using a gallon of oil a month should get their dealer to look for other problems such as turbo seals etc.
