TTS Oil

Post by ShaneyB » Mon Jan 14, 2013 10:31 am

Hi all,
A colleague of mine has an '09 TTS and had oil changed on November 27th. Oil light (yellow) came on at the weekend and she's concerned all isn't well. I have told her that they can be prone to burning oil as all of mine have in the past and not worry but I wasn't sure if it was the case with this model?

Normal as suggested??

Cheers
Shane

1000miles not normal!
Did they check the oil level on the dip stick...as might be a dodgy sensor.

Shagga, you seen the Kent meet on the 3rd?

M3, I wouldn't risk it mate unless you really had to...my R8 is not moving an inch.

That's what I thought.

M3 was fine and no issues whatsoever.

I'll check the 3rd but may be doing stuff for the mother in laws birthday.

Be good to meet up though.

Deffo up for a meet.
Will hopefully be doing the Kent thing but with only a few weeks to go until Baby Timbolina, I'm running out of weekends.
I'll be out in St. Albans next Saturday night, on the lash. You are course more than welcome to come along.

Or we could "try" either the weekend after or maybe a cheeky cappuccino up at Sarf Mimms one afternoon/evening ?
