Oil Consumption

Oil Consumption
I have '02 A4 1.8TQ with 3500 miles. I added oil twice to full mark, once at 1500miles, about 200ml, followed with about 150ml at 3500 miles. This should be within tolerances, but I would like to hear if anybody else is having the same and if this is acceptable. I had cars before and I never had to add any oil between oil changes. The engine is still having the original factory oil with which it was broken in.
Thanks

mine has used none since purchase, at 22K no oil use, this sounds like a lot!!!!!!!!!
I would use 5W40 if you add any, change the oil at 5K not 10, if the oil consumption is this high you either have a ring problem or a bad breakin procedure

I followed the brake in procedure to the letter as stated in the manual. I have some technical background and I have also broken in cars before. Oil I added was 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic, as given in the manual. As it is now, fits within the tolerances, however if it continues, than it is a problem but as indicated on the forum not according to AUDI, untill 1qt per 1000 miles is reached. I will keep a close eye on it.
Thank you for your input.
