Today my car had a big problem with the engine I can't say anything about it till the dealer gives me a report to what happend but I'd advise all new TDI owners to check the oil level at once.
I'll post later...

When I picked up my car I found in the boot a complimentary litre of Castrol, I did not realise that I was expected to fill it myself.
