'Reduce engine oil level' display in information settings

[A Watkins]

Having bought a 2017 Audi Avant Tdi SE auto estate in the last few days...I was familiarising myself with information settings on dashboard and scrolled and checked all then engine oil showed a display to say reduce engine oil level. Checked on level ground...same message. Was serviced by Audi dealership in Fen and engine oil service was conducted. Has been driven over 100 miles dance that service. How would they determine if any damage has been caused to engine or cat converter?

Hi it wont damage the engine, its most likely the oil sensor in the sump going sideways they are a rubbish design which is doomed to fail, I service my own car and had the same message so I drained out a litre of oil and it was still the same message so I had to change the sensor, these sensors are very twitchy even after opening the bonnet you have to drive at least two cycles [3-4 miles] before you can check it again.
