Hi Gareth and All, Been meaning to send an update for ages. So aside from the two initial top ups the oil levels seem to like sitting around half to two thirds and doesn’t seem to move much now and covered nearly 5k miles now and car just one turned one. I know it seems odd but its almost like it doesn’t like to be completely full and happy now sitting at the above mentioned levels. Also another small thing is the boot lid has some water getting in and Audi covered under warranty but it was the trim which runs across the top of the rear lights and a known issue according to Audi so they replace and rebonded. The original factory fit didn’t seem to fill the small holes properly with glue and rain was getting into through some tiny holes behind. I also managed to scuff the underside of the front bumper so need to get that sorted but its very low and it was a really off / steep bit of tarmac. Anyway loving the car and looking forward to more miles soon. Cheers, Neil

Hi Gareth, Thanks very much for the swift and thought through response. Yes agree this doesn’t seem quite right and starting to write / document the next few months is a good suggestion. I emailed the dealership last night but I’ll find out who the principle is and put something in writing to them as well. I bought 2 litres from reading Audi based on the reg and think I still have the receipt (final part of the first litre went in last night). I did have some screen shots from the app which monitors the electronic dip stick but think I deleted them as they had the date on them but will start storing them moving forward. I don’t seem very lucky with cars as had all sorts of different issues in the past. Maybe I need to stick to a push bike! Thanks again for the advice and will keep you posted on the next month or so in due course. Neil

Hi All, New to the forum and keen to see if anyone can help. Recently bought a C8 RS6 which only had about 350 miles on it. Loving the car and running great but had to top up the oil with 1 litre over the past 1,200 miles (total miles now around 1550) Reading Audi told me to keep an eye on it but I was popping in to get a few bits so feels like I should have them or Salisbury (where I bought it) check the car over or has anyone else seen or heard similar? Doesn’t seem to be noticeably leaking oil anywhere on the drive etc. Thanks in advance for the help. Neil
