I was away travelling during the Watchdog programme, but I did record it and will watch later. However this statement on the Audi website is quite reassuring.
"Audi UK is committed to investigating and swiftly resolving any technical issues relating to our cars which are reported to us through our network.
As we have stated previously, a low percentage of older 2.0 TFSI engines fitted to certain models have been exceeding the factory oil consumption tolerance of 0.5 litres per 1,000 kilometres (approx. 620 miles). Changes were made to the production tolerances of the pistons and rings in this engine from mid-2011 onwards, and customers with 2.0 TFSI cars produced after this date should not have any cause for concern.
The comprehensive Audi UK Warranty (3 years/60,000 miles) covering all new Audi vehicles has already resolved the majority of these cases at no cost to the customer. For remaining affected customers with cars that are no longer covered by this warranty, we have a policy in place to resolve issues on a case-by-case basis. This revised policy has been in force nationally since the beginning of the year and applies to new and retrospective cases. Qualification criteria are applied in each individual case to confirm that the vehicle has been serviced in accordance with the owner's handbook by an Audi Centre or other professional workshop which follows the Audi Service quality standards.
We invite all Audi customers who have any questions or concerns relating to newly discovered or previously reported oil consumption with 2.0 TFSI engines to contact their local Audi Centre."
I am currently running my own consumption test so I am confident when I go in. However, seeing as the roof recently collapsed at my local dealer and damaged a shed load of cars I'm not sure they will be in the best of moods.
Thanks for all your information and advice chaps.
