I received a message on the MMI display to top up the engine oil [Add oil, max. 1L. You may continue driving] and so I topped up with half a litre of oil, as per the owner's manual, then waited a while before topping up with another half a litre. I have topped up with 1 Litre, which is the maximum amount according to the engine oil level indicator, but the message remains the same. :wall:

The onboard computer doesn't seem to have registered that I have already put in a litre of oil.

Any ideas what the problem might be?

BTW my car is a A5 Sportback.
:help:

Thanks for the reply. :thumbsup:

I dropped my car into my local Audi Service Centre and they told me that the sensor is faulty, so the reading on the oil level indicator is incorrect. I'm not really impressed this has happened as the car is only a few months old. :no:

Oh well. I will definitely buy myself a dipstick to test the oil tank levels manually.
