Out after 8month SORN but now oil warning ...

Post by anawaz » Mon May 02, 2016 9:39 am

Took the car for drive after 8month SORN. Tyre pressure bit low as expected, but the oil temp indicator appeared in dash flagging 94, i could see very 'light' smoke coming out of front grill (near side). No sign of oil leaks under the car when checked. nothing obvious showing under hood.

i was going to call Audi and take her in. any advice ?

Oil temp 94 is fine, just check all levels. It's probably just a bit of water sitting somewhere and just needs drying out.
