Oil system. A quart of oil has to be added every day. Dealership says its crank case breather. Which the supercharge cause the oil to burn more. Also the antifreeze is burning more because the engine is so hot from the oil burning rapidly. Audi is aware and fails to do anything about this known issue.

When starting the car, malfunction indicator light (mil) came on. No odd noises or smells, and the engine was running smooth. The trouble code displayed was 00196a. Drove the car to an Audi dealer and they diagnosed the problem as "faulty transmission cooling valve n509, coolant is getting into connector causing an open circuit fault". The dealer stated that this a known problem (technical service bulletin #2033806/9) that sometimes renders the vehicle inoperable, and will possibly be covered for an extended period beyond the warranty. Repairs costed $900+. I'm concerned that if this reoccurs, it could cause the vehicle to shut off in an unsafe manner.
