2013 Audi is consumer way too much oil. I graphed how much oil my car is using over the 95K miles. Will it last longer....I will let you know.
I believe that a large percentage of Audi 2.0 engines have this same issue and people suffer quietly ….much like a drinking problem. That is why I did this video with this twist. It is unacceptable that Audi builds cars like this but if we don’t talk about it and share our experience we are the ones who will suffer the loss with Audi thinking everything is OK with their brand.
Next video of my Audi Q5 drinking problem we will talk about her rehab to fix her misfires and not wanting to get out of garage. Ring the bell to be notified when that is posted.

Just purchased an immaculate’13 Q5 with full service records at 95,000 miles. Got the low oil light at 600 miles and another 600 miles after that. Also hoping Audi man’s up and provides some relief for those of us who still believe in their cars.

I filed a small claims case against Volkswagen Group of America in North Carolina. I had the oil consumption test done at the dealer, failed, and they quoted me $6500 to replace the pistons. You all should look up Volkswagen Group of America in your states Secretary of State, file a small claims case and have their registered agent served. Good luck

Just purchased a used 2012 Audi Q5 with 2.0T engine with 97k. Used 1 quart in 406 miles which was a complete surprise. The data you have provided is excellent and I wish I would have seen this before my purchase. Will be tracking my oil usage going forward. Thanks for the video.

I have a 2014 2.0 A5...burning thru a lot of oil recently.

@lindacarleton2376 Год назад

2014 Audi Q5. Love my car but just had to spend over $6000 to have all new exhaust valves replaced as one valve in cylinder 2, had a chunk burned out of it. While in for that work I went ahead and had the timing chain replaced for fear of potential stretching. This all happened at 109k mi. Unacceptable. My oil light comes on every 700 mi. After all this, I now smell burning oil after the engine gets hot (from normal driving). Audi needs to replace all these faulty pistons.

@tepsterstips Год назад

Thank you for adding your problem

@ZhiyongYang-iu8jb 11 месяцев назад

My 2013 Q5 just went through exactly the same. After the valve job and timing chain replacement, I still need to add 1 quart of oil every ~300 miles

@TheGoryl911 Год назад

I have been having the same problem with my q5 for over a year now. It got so bad that I get an oil light every 300 miles. Ever since then, I have been changing my oil every 3-4k and using liquid moly engine flush. After using the liquid moly couple of times I was able to drive 800-1000 miles before the light came on. During the winter it dropped again back to 300 miles. I got annoyed so I took the spark plugs out and put some liquid moly into every spark plug and left it overnight. The next morning I cranked my engine to get rid of the extra fluid. I put back everything together and drove the car hard for about 10 minutes. I did the oil change but this time I decided to use diesel oil, Shell Rotella T6. I did some research and looks like a lot of people are using it and claiming it has good oil additive to keep your engine clean. After all that, I was able to get back to 1000 miles before the light came on. I'm still not satisfied with adding oil every 1000 miles. I'm thinking of adding Chemp dip into the spark plugs and see if it would help. I found some youtube videos of people doing that. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SS8vFbBLIG0.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d2k0WlO7PMM.html

Be advised that this issue can be fixed with a piston soak in most cases. See 3 videos from a RU-vidr called eurotrash motors or similar. Many have been fixed this way and it's dirt cheap.

@tepsterstips 4 месяца назад

It is hard for me to believe that this works put it does!!!! I am currently at 900 miles with my test. My time between adding a quart of oil went from 250 miles to 1000+ miles with this 1st soak! I will have a video on this as soon as my car alarms me for another quart which should happen within a month or so. I believe I might need to do it again since Berryman B12 has cleared much of the clogged carbon in my oil rings however there seems to be a little more carbon left. However 1000 miles between adding a quart of oil is a success and I could live with that too.

Same situation with my 2015 Audi q5. How do I get in on this lawsuit?? Here in Delaware.

@fahrny9088 Год назад

Thanks for your video. My case: 2014 Volkswagen CC 2.0T Exec purchased new Feb 2015. Always maintained at official VW Dealer Service in NJ with oil changes at mentioned 10k miles intervals. This year in Jan at 83 k miles started noticing oil is being consumed too much. Engine oil test at VW done last week (mileage 88k miles now) shows 3.5 quarts being burnt in 1000 miles. Dealer to tell me the price of Scenario 1 (Engine and Turbo replacement) this week. If cost will be too high, will likely go with Scenario 2 (keep adding oil every 285 miles) and continue. In Scenario 2, dlr recommends to change oil every 2k or 3k miles now. Car is otherwise in very good condition. Not savvy in these things. Your opinions / advice is welcome.

@tepsterstips Год назад

Not sure why you need to change oil any faster than normal since you are already adding new/clean oil every 285 miles. My suggestion is to use a Liqui Moly SAE 5W-40 Synthetic motor oil. I also found that I get more miles before needing to add oil by adding Liqui Moly 300ml Viscoplus for oil between oil changes. It reduces oil consumption about 50% and improves compression through optimally flexible sealing. I also found one of my sparkplugs (#1 cylinder) had a lot of carbon build up and wet with oil. I believe that is the only cylinder that is having ring sticking problems. Every 3,000 miles I replace #1 cylinder spark plug so it will have a good spark. You can also clean it with a carbon remover or adding a fuel additive every 3,000 miles. There is really no reason to replace your engine ($12,000) with a new engine because the cost of the engine replacement is higher than the value of the car. A used/refurbished engine might be an option if you do the labor yourself however these engines cost $3-5K before labor. I would feed it oil, clean the spark plugs, and put an oil stabilizer in until the engine wont run anymore. Then decide if it is worth it to put in a rebuilt engine. That is what I have been doing for the last 45,000 miles. I will comment here when/if it dies.

Hello! I too have a 2013 Q5 and love driving it... I have 101k miles on it and need to top off 1 qt at about 700 miles, and falling. I had my timing chain replaced at about 90k as well. Hoping for the lawsuit to be inclusive of NY soon.

@tepsterstips Год назад

How many miles on it? My 2013 Q5 was at 600 miles per quart about at 80K. Beware of the timing chain as I needed mine replaced at 95K. I started getting error codes like P053F Manufacturer control and many others before it finally lost power.

2013 Q5 Flex Fuel 2.0T. I'm needing to add 0.5 qt oil every other 200 miles trip trying to keep up oil level before dash light warning. Bought the car used Jan 2023.

@tepsterstips 11 месяцев назад

Why are you worried about the dash light? It makes you have to pop the hood twice for the same results. The dash warning light is not recorded in the engine electronics modules so are now records except what you keep.

@washingtonturtles5296 Год назад

I have the same problem. Mine is a 2014 q5 2.0. It has 85k and I just had the oil consumption test. Results were 2 qts / 1000 miles. Most mechanics I spoke with recommended swapping the engine vs trying to replace the pistons/piston rings

@tepsterstips Год назад

Has anyone got a quote to replace an Audi 2.0 engine? I have read on Audi forms a new engine cost around $12k. That’s not an option for a 2013 q5. Can you get a rebuild for less than 6k installed?

Success! I am in the middle of my driving test after using Berryman B12. So far I have traveled 900 miles and my oil gage says 1/4 left of oil before I need to add another quart of oil. I expect to get at least 1000 miles before an needing to add a quart of oil. Bottomline: My time between oil went from 250 miles to 1000+ miles with this soak! I will have a video on this as soon as my car alarms me for another quart. I belive I might need to do it again since Berryman B12 has cleared much of the clogged carbon in my oil rings however there seems to be a little more carbon left.

@arkrainflood Год назад

2010 A5, 1 qt every 1200 miles. i can live with that. use liqui moly engine flush at every oil change. then add liqui moly additive with the oil change.

@tepsterstips Год назад

What Liqui Moly additive are you using? Viscoplus? I am currently doing a test with using Liqui Moly engine flush + Liqui Moly fuel injection cleaner + Liqui Moly 5w-40w synthetic oil (I have been using Liqui Moly oil for 3 years). I just started this test 1 week ago when I did the oil change. I will see if it improves the oil consumption and report it on RU-vid channel.

I have a 2015 Audi A4 with 2.0T engine. It has 100K miles. I've never had to add oil. Yesterday, however, the warning came on saying I need to add oil. The most recent oil change was at 95K miles. I think I'm going to trade it in now, before the problem gets worse.

@tepsterstips 11 месяцев назад

It took my Audi about 10K miles to go from not needing oil between changes and needing a quart every 600 miles.

@vigneshie Год назад

What oil have you used during the life of the car and what oil change intervals?

@tepsterstips Год назад

I had my oil changed the first 75K miles by the Audi Dealer with their recommended synthetic oil. I changed the oil as per Audi's recommended schedule for the environment my car was in. That was 5K miles for the first oil change then every 10K . At 75K I changed to Liqui Moly 5W-40 Synthetic oil as I read it my help. It did a little however I think it was mostly because it was a slightly heavier oil vs(5W-30W) the dealer had been putting in. That is the oil I am using now. I am doing some test with other Liqui Moly products: Engine Flush, Viscoplus to see if this helps however I have little hope. I will have another video how these flush and additive worked for oil consumption. Results are not in yet.

@robocop581 9 месяцев назад

Bought used Audi Q5 2013 2L in 2021 with 83K km. I add oil periodically, about half a liter of oil every 1K km. My car now has 108K km and is due for an oil change at 110K km. We plan to keep this car for no more than two years as we bought it for One for One Replacement Scheme in HK. Scrap our ICE for a new EV and the Government will waive the Import tax which is around 110% in HK

@tepsterstips 9 месяцев назад

@robocop581 This is an interesting proposition. Import a inexpensive used Audi that has an oil consumption issue and then in 2 years replacing it with an EV to save on HK import tax. Since the Audi may be sold at a much lower price, especially if the oil consumption is known, you can still drive it for a couple of years before replacing it and save a huge amount of import tax
