>> thanks richard but what do you mean by avs regime?

AVS = Audi Variable Service. The regime that allows up to 19,000 miles
between servicing for certain cars. When on this regime the oil used is
Castrol SLX Longlife 2 ( or equivalent) which is very thin and you can get
excessive oil consumption. The topic of AVS has been discussed many times on
the Internet. Just do a Google search. Also it may be worth searching for
Audi V6 and oil consumption you will find a lot of info.

Hope this helps
