2007 Audi A4. Consumer writes in regards to issue with oil consumption. The consumer stated the oil return rings collapsed. The motor got hot and caused 3 holes in 3 exhaust valves. The manufacturer was notified.
I picked up my Audi A4 a few weeks ago left the dealer went about five miles and the car starts miss firing bring it back for a new coil pack, one week later oil light came on low oil not even 700 miles and add one 16 oz of oil so started to park car in garage oil on garage floor lots of oil so far not very happy with the car. Bringing it to Audi repair shop they said they will look for the leak. I should have come here first to see, what I see now I would not have brought something other then Audi now waiting to see if it burns or consumes any oil if so should I call the Audi dealer. I paid 9,850. 00$.
This Audi and many others suffer from excessive oil consumption. About 1 quart synthetic oil is used/lost every 1000-2000 miles.
From day one in August 2013 when I bought this car it burns oil at an extreme rate. A quart every 500 - 800 miles. It calls for synthetic oil by castrol which is close to $10. 00 a quart. Do the math. The car manufacture say that is with in the specs for how engine was built. This is truly highway robbery and Audi should be held responsible. I went on Audi forums and thousands of people in the u. S. And the u. K. Complain of the same problem. Please do something about it. I as 50 years old and been paying taxes for 35 years. Working since I was 15 years old. Stand up and do something for a agency that was put in place to do so. I would greatly appreciate it. I look forward to your response.
Excessive oil consumption a quart every 1000 miles or less.
August 2010 at 30k miles, add oil light came on within 2,000 miles of last oil change. Took it into the dealership, they fixed pressure regulating valve. Add oil light continues to come on between oil changes, approx 1k to 3k miles. Dealership stated it was normal for that yr/model. May 2013 at 69k miles, white foul smelling smoke comes from exhaust upon acceleration and car drives rough. Happens intermittently. Dealership states no codes or problems upon test driving. June 2013 it happens again and this time needs to be towed. Dealer fixes fuel injectors. August 2013 happens again on numerous occasions. Dealer does oil consumption test. Fails test. Sept 2013 dealership replaces piston rings and cylinder head. Add oil light continues to come on and white smoke and shaking intermittently. Oct 2013 take back to dealership. They replace turbo. All of the above services done at no charge due to extended service contract. Dec 2013 it happens again. Dealership finds another leak in the valves. Dealership now wants to charge me 50% of repairs although problem started before warranty expired. Currently car is not repaired. It is driveable but continues to need oil every 1k miles or so and intermittently produces white smoke and shakes.
Excessive oil consumption.
Since I got the car, A4 cabriolet 2. 0t, I've been adding oil approximately every 3000 miles. The dealer was courteous, and ran the oil consumption test when it's around 9000 miles. They advised it's within the normal range, and I should see improvement. Well, it's now 21k miles, and I am still adding oil every 3000 miles. The maintenance guide said to change oil every 10k after the initial oil change, but never mention the need to add oil every 2-3 month. How is it normal? I talked to other Audi owner, and no one ever had to add oil before scheduled oil changes. I decided to file this complaint after I saw other complaints w/ the same the issue on the mycarstats. Com.
After leasing the car 2 months later I had to add oil to it. The engine burns oil like crazy. 1 quart of oil per month to month and a half. The engine oil warning light has come several times causing me to pull off the road into the closest gas station to buy some oil. Depending of when it happens, this has been somewhat stressful. I have been told this is normal. I do not think so. If they had told me this, I would not have leased this car!.
