[A4] Too much oil??

[Joel Landsverk]

First of all, never had that Temp gauge thing.  Mine's always at ½ way. 
\

Snowflake: I think the car has a barometer on it. That's the only way I
can figure the car knows about the moisture in the air, hence, the
snowflake.

Now, on to oil.  My car was running like poo and smelled like gas, so I
started with the easy stuff.  I check the oil and discovered I was
hauling around about an extra 1.5L of it.  WOW!  I know that's bad.  But
I don't remember why.  Can anybody list off all the bad things that can
happen so I can make sure my previously very trusty mechanic checks it
all out?

I drained out the extra and the car was much happier, but not perfect.

Thanks

Joel

My 00 A4 1.8t reacted the same way. By the way, did anyone else
snowflake next to the temperature disappear at these low temps? I am
not
sure what temp it disappeared, but will watch it and let you know. I
also found out I have a leaky left side headlight washer pump :-(
