First VAG-COM connection

So I finally had time to plug the computer (with VAG-COM) to the Audi, it's fine, only small errors and intermittent ones at that:

Booster vacuum (probably when I open the oil filler with the engine on), one lock (never had problems to open the doors so it may be just a failure of the sensor), and one speaker has loose cables (this one, I've heard sometimes, I thought it was the speaker just very old and tired)... not too bad, all systems are OK.

It's good to have this great tool around, around 2000 Km and still strong and problem free.

Oil consumption

As expected, this engine is notorious for high oil consumption, it looks like the design of the vacuum system is not that good and some oil makes its way into the intake, I'll have to dig around one day and see what can be done.

Good thing this car has a pretty advanced warning system.

So far I added 0.5L after a little less than 2,000 Km. not too bad and inside Audi specs (!!)

I'll keep an eye on it anyway.
