My vehicle was burning oil faster than normal. I have since had my car in the shop several times before oil changes were due to top off oil do to several lights coming on: "min oil", "oil pressure too low". I have had several oil consumption tests each year as well as parts replaced: pressure regulating valve, crankshaft damper and seal. Had a 40 point inspection in 2014 at 44k miles and in 2015 requested a multi inspection at 55k miles. I had several oil consumption tests around theses dates: 3/714, 5/7/15, 11/12/15. After they changed out parts I had to change 4 fuel injectors in 2016. To fast forward I had all oil changes on time and had to add oil several times in-between services. On jan 11, 2019 I had another oil change, they replaced my oil sensors and breaks. 4 months later my "low oil light" kept popping up when I would turn. After checking the old 4 times it kept reading 3/4 full of oil. After I felt the car running strange I pulled over to buy oil and at this point I checked and it was bone dry. I put a quart in and at this point the car wont start. I had it towed to the nearest audi dealership who told me I need a new engine and a new timing sensor. They said the amount of damage the timing belt had done caused the engine to need total replacement. Yet never spoke about why the oil sensors kept giving the wrong reading. Since I have owned my car from aug 2013 it has burned more oil than I want to believe which makes this car bad for the environment and the air quality.

Takata recall. I noticed that my car consumes lots of oil due to the engine oil consumption. Anytime I perform oil change, it won't last longer than 7 days.

Hello. This model of audi a4 2.0t 2011 hase a big problem with oil consumption which I think is a thing that the federal safety agency needs to look in to. For example : I drive the car 500 miles and the oil light comes up and is asking for 1qt of oil which I think is absolutely not normal . Ive change the oil in october and in 2 months december I use 5qt of oil to refill or to add on because the oil light was turning on . Ive took the car to audi and did a full inspection to see if I'm losing any oil anywhere and the result was negative. I've herd that my model audi a4 2.0t 2011 had a problem with the pistons rings or something like that and because of that he oil consumption was very high. But just on some audi a4 2.0t 2011 models not all . I think and I can prove that my care has this issue and needs to be reccal because the oil goes in the environment in the air which is a very big problem for the quality of the oxygen . I'm not saying that only my car but if you google my model you will be shocked of how many people are complaining about the oil consumption on audi a4 2.0t 2011

Vehicle stalled out and started shaking only to find out injectors went out and oil consumption issues. Audi USA is prolonging an issue that they know is wrong with the vehicle regarding oil consumption. I have completed phase I of the test and took it to dealership to have phase ii completed however without my consent or knowledge audi has the dealership perform phase I over again. Car is eating excessive amount of oil but yet audi USA is prolonging the situation with no resolution. Purchased the car 08/24/2015 had to have an oil change done two weeks later beginning of september by october 15th I had to add more oil as the oil indicator light came on come to find out there is a known issue for consuming oil. I have phase I completed however I took vehicle in to have phase ii done on it only to be told they had to do phase I over which isn't fair the vehicle still eats oil and value is depreciating drastically because of audi and volkswagen epa violations.

I have a 2011 audi a4 2.0t that continues to consume oil which lead to a major engine malfunction @ 25k; 26k & now @36k the engine seized on the highway nearly causing an accident on the highway as of 10/31/13 I have over a years worth of investigation notes about audi's procedures to dealing with customers. Using myself as test subject to endure the misdirection and lies to perpetuate this cover-up there are over 1000 complaints documented for this oil consumption issue which can lead to your engine seizing up at high speeds. Http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/audi-a4/t532rvb94d9dr4ei0/p7 audi of america refuses to handle this dangers defect in their audi 2.0t engine because of the obvious cost associated with another recall for the audi a4 model 2009-2012. Combined with the already court mandated recall of 2002-2006 audi 1.8t engines. I have nearly been in three accidents from my car violently shaking to audi most recently rushing to replace my complete engine at 36,000 miles to avoid a 15 day clause in california to classify a vehicle as a lemon this car has been in the shop for more 46+ days due to the same issue as described in the service bulletin link below. I find it quite appalling that the federal safety agency has yet to force a recall for the american consumer. At 25,055 miles, on november 26, 2012, the audi a4 began experiencing severe engine problems that caused the vehicle to violently shake coupled with a flashing check engine light and epc light. This left the vehicle in a debilitated state. After 4 days at the dealer, the dealer was unable to conclude the exact cause of the violent shaking but instead made what seemed like makeshift repairs to the cylinders, injection, and intake manifold. The saga continues for 1000 other consumers: http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f20ff85 & http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/audi-a4/t532rvb94d9dr4ei0/p7 please review & help
