The 'check oil level' warning has just come up on my 03 Alhambra 1.9TDi 130.

It was serviced about 4 months ago, is this normal oil consumption?

It has come on once before but it was just before a service.

I don't check the oil level regularly, must remember to do this in future.

Don't think thats normal at all.

I've got the same engine in an A6, and that barely used any between services (about 8 months I think).

I'll top it up and monitor it.

The garage may not have put enough in when it was serviced.

It's normal for this engine (like most VAG engines) to use more than it's fair share of oil...

Keep it topped up and make sure the right stuff is in there...
