I bought this vehicle with a good price. The car itself runs pretty good but have found out that it burns oil and it is factory problem. I have done some research and it Audi has this kind of problem. High oil consumption it consumes 1 qt every 200 miles.
Audi knows about this oil consumption issue my car is one of the thousands of affected one it's require more oil just after 300 miles and Audi won't fix it asking for 6k to 7k to fix the engine I barely have 110k miles on the car. Audi need to recall their and fix it for free.
I bought the car 2 days ago and on the way back from the dealership I'd already had to add a quart of oil, 2 days later after refilling and I'm basically back to zero on oil. I don't drive much so this is ridiculous. The oil consumption is much higher than it should be, I've driven maybe 400 miles and I've had to add oil twice. I've never had to do this with any other car before, this is mad.
High oil consumption for years, from faulty pistons and piston rings leading to catastrophic engine failure. Repeated conversations with my mechanic and review of Audi blogs shows that Audi USA knows about this problem and has done nothing to repair it. We were told the high oil consumption was within parameters, but now the car is no fixable for a reasonable rate.
Excessive oil consumption. Car was purchased at texas direct in stafford, texas. Car consumes approximately 1 quart of oil every 600-800 miles. At this rate I am consuming 15-20 quarts between regular manufacturers oil change recommendations. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Excessive oil consumption engine problem.
High oil consumption from faulty pistons and piston rings leading to catastrophic engine failure. Broke exhaust valve at highway speed while on interstate. Audi aware of defects but denies responsibility. They refused multiple reasonable requests for help in repairs.
Purchased a used lease vehicle in 2014, 63,000 miles on it. Looked like a creampuff. Carfax was clean. Used oil excessively. Was told by local dealer I could not get car fixed per class action settlement because I was not original owner or did not have all service records. Car has now had an intake valve failure in cylinder 3 while driving on highway at normal speed. Possibly caused by defective piston rings breaking. 101,000 miles and just out of extended warranty I purchased for $2500 extra. Car is not drivable and stuck 3 hours from my home. Audi of America says car was "fixed" in 2012 and will not release maintenance records, citing privacy of previous owner, a corporate lease. Audi dealer in melbourne FL who did the repair in 2012 will not release records so I do not know what was fixed and what parts were used. Total runaround by Audi of America and Audi of melbourne. I don't have $7000 for repair, and, still make payments on car for 2 more years . A car I can't drive, for work. All 5 million vehicles from 2009, 2010 and 2011 with defective pistons and rings need to be recalled and fixed. Excessive oil consumption also compromises catalytic converter performance, and life. That's another $1200-$1700 to get replaced. Audi care is a joke. Their arrogance is astounding.
Add oil warning light on. The car tells me to add 1 quarts oil every 200-300 miles. Car has a known excessive oil consumption issue because Audi made bad batch of piston rings on engine code cae and they refuse to admit it. Class action lawsuit was filed against them and was settled in sept 2014 and now its time for a recall on this issue.
I have an 2010 Audi A4. The vehicle stalled on the highway while driving at 60 mph. The oil light went from yellow to red and the car. I had just put oil in the vehicle before leaving that morning, and the vehicle is not leaking oil. I have complained to the dealer and manufacturer about the oil consumption problem which is a well known problem with the 2008-2012 A4 and a5 models, but the claim it is not a safety issue and have refused to fix the problem.
The oil was changed at 70,000 miles. The oil light came on twice after less than 2,000 miles. I added oil the first time, and it's on again after less than a week. I checked a few forums on line and other owners have experienced the same thing. The car is not leaking oil, so I'm figuring the engine must be burning oil. A few mechanics I've spoken to have said that some Audi A4's have been recalled for this problem.
Bought the car used from a dealership that inspected the car for any defects. While test driving the car, I had to return the car to the dealership for repairs. The cars fuel pump was failing and causing excessive misfires. Then about two months after driving the car, it began to use oil excessively. I checked for any leaks and found none. I contacted the dealership and was informed that anything less than 1qt per 1000 miles was considered normal under Audi standards. Personally I don't agree! now approximately 20000 miles later and 8 months, it burns a qt of oil every 300 miles. I know this is excessive as I can now see and smell oil from the exhaust. I contacted Audi for a resolution since there are numerous complaints about the excessive oil but as expected, since I did not buy the vehicle from an authorized reseller, it couldn't be covered. If the engineers at Audi know some of the cars produced with the 2. 0 turbo engine were assembled with pistons and rings that were too small, why hasn't a mass recall been issued to resolve the issue? I would like this issue to be resolved before something more catastrophic occurs.
Car brought in for misfire condition that resulted in power reduction/hesitation while driving. Dealer detected faulty injector. Replaced injector and engine was still malfunctioning. Dealer then removed cylinder and observed piston ringland damage. Vehicle was starting to exhibit excessive oil consumption problems. Either faulty injector or piston ring defect is suspected to cause damage. Looking into remedies through arbitration or other means as Audi is aware about (I. E. Undersized rings / pistons). I will retain all suspect parts as Audi will not honor under warranty terms and independent shop will be performing repairs, and can be made available for further investigation. Excessive oil consumption is a known issue with Audi USA. The manual states that normal consumption is up to 1 quart for every 1000 miles. Per Audi's recommendations, you will burn 10 quarts of oil before you need an oil change. That engine holds 5 quarts when not leaking it through rings, reducing anti-knock rating of fuel during combustion. I believe this a significant safety hazard as engine seizing could unexpectedly occur due to defective components. I believe a class action lawsuit is inevitable.
The contact owns a 2010 Audi A4. While driving approximately 30 mph the check engine light illuminated on the dashboard. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where she was informed that the vehicle was burning oil very fast. She was also informed that this was a normal occurrence for this type of vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired but she was advised to check the oil every 300 miles. The failure and current mileages were 4,800. The VIN was unavailable.
