The biggest SCAM from AUDI! 

Professional Maintenance Products I Recommend

You know it's bad when a Subaru driver is complaining about oil consumption from another manufacturer...

Worthless rant of someone's used car. I currently have 2 Audi's. One with 242,000 miles, another with 117,000 miles and one I sold a few years ago with 275,000 miles to my brother.

English PLEASE

I thought I was going to learn something. Instead 6 and a half minutes just to be reminded a few times that losing that amount of oil “isn’t quite normal”

If you want a nice car buy german, If you want build quality buy Japanese. My advise after paying thousands on repairs etc on german cars. Like all the test reports are saying for years.

The oil consumption issue is due to the piston rings they used from 2009 to mid 2013. They are thin to "reduce friction" and get coked up with carbon really easily and don't scrape oil off the cylinder walls like they should. They either get stuck inside the ring lands or in more extreme cases, get stuck slightly expanded and break scoring up the cylinder walls, etc. You can try doing a piston soak with Marvel Mystery Oil by simply removing a spark plug, making sure the piston is at bottom dead center and simply pouring it in through the spark plug hole filling the cylinder. Obviously, you don't run the engine in this condition. Let it sit anywhere from a few hours to overnight. Then with the plug still removed, crank the engine over ( Remove the fuel pump fuse so it doesn't try and fire and the injectors aren't spraying gasoline into the cylinder you are trying to clean out.) to remove the remaining MMO. Place a shop rag over the hole to collect what sprays out. Replace the spark plug, coil, and fuses you pulled and change the oil. Next, drive it like you stole it for a while on the highway. It will probably smoke a little and that's to be expected due to some MMO remaining in the cylinders.

Use oil bought directly from Audi. Don’t let all of the other manufacturers trick you in synthetic oil that’s cheap

My B8 was tuned and burned zero oil. Change it every 5000 and properly warm up and cool down your engine and DO THE MAINTENANCE. These cars don’t suffer lazy, uninformed or financially strapped owners. They need MORE care than regular cars. Do they drive great? Absolutely. Do they have a reputation of being money pits for a reason? Absolutely. Luxury cars are for when you’re in a position in your life to properly take care of it. Have patience and make the purchase when you won’t be over- leveraged by it.

I drink 1 litre of oil every 3 months that keeps my joints in shape, does it mean I'm German?

I carry extra oil just in case 🤣. Topped it up just a week or two ago. (2016 model with 130,000 km)

Hello from India , my December 2011 make VW Polo 1.2 TDI driven 150000kms consumes 500ml to 1500ml engine oil depending upon cold starts running instantly without warming up. Another factor that I have noticed is different brands of oils are consumed or oxidised differently depending on their quality.

In the UK I worked at an Audi Franchise and it mostly affected the A4 B8 and A5 1.8 and 2.0 tfsi engines. The fix was modified pistons and con rods. We had a tech who could take an engine out do the work and have it back together usually within a day (assuming all parts were available).

I'm used to checking my oil weekly ever since I owned a rx8 the king of oil consumption

I ve done a 4000km trip in my audi a6 2012 3.0 tdi and i had to top it up with 500ml . i knew that some of the cars will consume a few ml of oil even the newer models but i was too lazy to look in the book

Its Audi's perpetual lubrication system.

My 2006 A4 Avant has 535000 Kms and uses one litre every 5k kms....synthetic since new. Still love this car!

My brother had the same car as yours which he purchased brand new and he managed to slow the consumption problem by using Motul Sport Ester 5W-50 oil. As you said 10W - 60 was to thick which he tried and settled for Motul. Great oil.

2015 in Switzerland I bought used Audi a4 b8 1.8 tfsi with a 55 000 km. And very short after I realize that something isn't right. Every time when I was checking oil, I must buy 1 liter.... intervals every 1200, 1500 km. He was on Garanty, and guys from official service take him and make some repairs. After that everything is allright. But in the meantime, I must change clutch, on 65000 km, on normal driving... After the repair, it still made me a problems. After 90000 he start to consuming more oil, like on the begining... And quality of the materials in cockpit, very bad. And now, I sold this car, very disapointed in top German brands... I swear, new Audi cars isn't like old ones

Audi used slightly oval pistons in the A4 2.0t....i did hundreds of pistons and rings jobs at the dealership, we swapped A3 pistons and rings into A4 and that stopped it. Sometimes you would find scored cylinder walls and had to replace the block.
