Check recent posts for oil pick up pipe / sludge build up. Might be worth a read.
Sarcasm for free. Anything after that can only be considered as a bonus.

Just because you think you know something, doesn't make you an expert if you've just read it on the internet, y'know.

TFSI's do typically burn a little oil. My old GTI burned a litre every 2000 miles. Learn how much yours uses and top up before the light comes on in future to keep your engine is top condition  :happy2:
