Oil Level Indication

Liftsagift · Post by **Liftsagift** » Thu Dec 28, 2017 5:02 pm

Just had first oil change and the normal level indication is not available. The garage tell me that the engine has to get hot before it will read after a change. Sounds like b/s to me.
Anyone got any ideas?
Tks

The engine needs to be at normal operating temperature. the car needs to be level and the engine stopped for at least a minute.

Yep. Funnily enough, it’s covered in the manual.

Ah the old RTFM solution. Rarely used but often effective. It’s a little like rebooting an unresponsive PC before calling tech support!

I had similar issue on all my Audi’s. Took around a week for it to be displayed for me as all I did was very short journeys and engine temp never got up.

Mine was fine once I did a run.

Thanks Boys,
Have given it a blast and all's well.
Teach me not to panic and read the manual!!

Nah. You don’t want to do that. Imagine if we all knew everything. No Forum then.

7,500 miles done and oil top up needed. Less than 1litre. Anything unusual there?

I have done nearly 9,000 miles with no indication that a top up is required

I put in about half a litre at 9k miles. Was the same on the Cayman and never needed another drop
