Oil consumption I had this car since 2012 and found out recently about oil consumption class action lawsuit through the internet, when my car started consuming copious amounts of oil. The owner manual says a quart per ~1,200 miles, but I'm getting oil light at about 400 miles after service at the dealership. I spoke with multiple dealerships including the dealership I'm currently doing every 10k maintenance with and none have actually helped me out since I'm out of warranty of 80k. I spoke with Audi corporate and they say they will review when they get to my case which is pretty much never. They keep telling me to take my car in to do phase 2 oil consumption which is going to be a several grand repair. I did phase 1 out of pocket roughly 1,700 and they fixed pcv breather valve, seal and updated software after I replaced the pcv breather valve recently, but they said the valve is old, so they replaced with newer one, but still pretty much doing the same thing and that's consuming oil. Audi corporate say they will "review" my case which pretty much means I pay out of pocket and then they'll see which I doubt. This car is literally a headache never buying an Audi again. Audi is crooked and they do not want to repair even though they know about these problems. I know they're trying to bait me into repairing the car further which will ultimate lead to a 10k engine replacement and that's not going to happen not on my dime.

Came into the garage in the morning and realized there was oil on the ground. The next day took the car to the shop to have them looked at to see where the oil leak is coming from. After diagnosis the result was that rear main seal needs to be replaced with the pcv valve. Total price is about $1500. I did not have any check engine light and this seems like it is a known issue with Audi vehicles where the pcv valve is over pressuring the engine and causing gaskets/seals the blow. I believe this should be the responsibility of the Audi to fix this problems since this is a known issue and has been reported a lot of 2. 0t engines.
Car started blowing white smoke and oil consumption increased to 1 quart per 500 miles. Dealership replaced pcv valve, which should have been replaced under csc-10043026-6562. However, since the check engine light never illuminated, the dealership and Audi refuse to cover this issue under the extended warranty, despite the fact that the defective part is specifically called out in their customer service campaign.
