1.8T 2001 model - How much oil do you use?

[D5ACT]

Hi

I have 1.8T in my 2001 A6. The car has covered 80k and has a full dealer history.

I've noticed that the car uses more oil than I'd expect, probably a litre every 1000 miles or so.

There are no oil deposits on the drive and I don't see any blue smoke from the rear. I've tried booting it with friends following and no signs of anything unusual.

I tend to drive around town with the occassional long trip.

Any ideas on what this could be? Car goes in for service this week but would like a heads up on costs etc.

Cheers

Chris

5v motors are known for using a bit, my 99 car doesn't use a drop for some reason but that really does seem to be the exception to the rule.

Thanks for the comments.

Car has been in for a service now and it would turn out that the wrong oil filter was fitted at the last service (Audi dealership hmmm). Also the oil breather pipe was partially blocked.

Car now feels like new again and pulls very storngly.
