Car burning excessive oil. The oil light comes on all the time. Oil consumption is not normail. I have to add oil every 1000 miles. From what I hear from other Audi owners to repair the engine it will cost around $6,000. 00. The pistons and rings are defective and since there are soooo many complaints, Audi should recall this issue and fix it for all affected vehicles.
Im loosing a liter of oil every 200-500 miles and tyranny feels like it slips a little but the oil consumption is why im writing this I bought my 2012 Audi Q5 premium sport edition with a 2. 0 turbo with 80,000 miles and was not told about the oil consumption!!.
Heavy oil consumption and leaks into gas, ignition and other areas.
Since January 2019, the vehicle oil light has been turning more and more frequently. I was told by Audi dealership that it is normal to add a quart every 1000 miles or so. I am adding a quart per 100 miles. When communicating with Audi dealership my claims were dismissed and I was told work costs to replace piston rings would be over $6000 dollars. When researching class action lawsuit, my engine code is the one that is affected by the oil consumption problem, but when communicating that to Audi of America hotline, I was told that my vehicle has not been rewarded any extended warranty.
Class action law suit for Audi USA for excessive oil consumption in models up to 2011, has not fixed the issue becasue alot of people claim the same issue with Audi including my 2012 Audi Q5. More than 1 qt of oil every 200 miles is alot and this seems to be a issue with Audi, I have had mu engine check by more than one shop, had a skoke test and oil consumption test done on it and the oil is burning excessively with no resolutions.
I purchased my 2012 Audi from carmax with 20,??? miles on it. It now has 106,000. I noticed more oil consumption than it should. I am very very on top of maintaining my vehicles. Regular maintenance original Audi parts during replacement. . . . Then my check engine light came on. Had the code checked and it was turbo booster problem and crankshaft. Was told fixing crankshaft may possibly fix turbo booster code without paying $3,000-4,000 to fix. As they were fixing it I was told the crankshaft had red letters on it meaning it came from a junkyard prior to my purchasing it! so it had to have gone bad before 20,000 miles which is ridiculous! so I paid the $500. 00 to fix it and drove it 158 miles and the check engine light came on again. So I just burned $500. 00 for nothing! I love my Audi but I will never ever purchase an Audi that is such an unreliable vehicle again. In doing research I see that 2012 Audi engines are very very bad news! apparently this is happening to a lot of Audi owners. Buyer beware!.
I am having to add oil every 500-800 miles. I did not have the oil consumption test done due to it sounds like a waste of money and they do not even fix the problem. Is anyone having these problems in the 2013 models? I am thinking about trading it in or maybe I should just go to a different make truck.
Excessive oil consumption.
It came to my attention at 70,000 miles that I had to occasionally add oil between oil changes. At 95,000 miles the oil consumption increased. Currently at 100,000 miles oil consumption increased to a quart of oil every 1000 miles. Two auto repair businesses, including shearer Audi of south burlington vermont, have looked at my car. Each repair business tells me that there are two costly possibilities to fix the car. The bottom line is that it seems to need a new engine block and pistons and all. It seems that shearer Audi service rep should have warned me that there might be a problem with the oil consumption before my Audi¿s warranty was up. It also seems that the 2012 Q5 should have been included in the class action oil consumption law suit. As you are aware, Audi has been aware of this defect for years and yet the 2012 2. 0t engine does not seem to be redesigned to fix the problem.
