The car goes thro high oil consumption, around one qt every 400 miles. The car also burns oil every time accelerating on a small hill- smoke comes out from the exhaust system. Cannot expedite or drive regularly. It seems that it needs piston rings replacement which was defective in the beginning but the previous owner did not care about it. The car has 115.000 miles.

Car started blowing white smoke and oil consumption increased to 1 quart per 500 miles. Dealership replaced pcv valve, which should have been replaced under csc-10043026-6562. However, since the check engine light never illuminated, the dealership and audi refuse to cover this issue under the extended warranty, despite the fact that the defective part is specifically called out in their customer service campaign.

From day one in august 2013 when I bought this car it burns oil at an extreme rate. A quart every 500 - 800 miles. It calls for synthetic oil by castrol which is close to $10.00 a quart. Do the math. The car manufacture say that is with in the specs for how engine was built. This is truly highway robbery and audi should be held responsible. I went on audi forums and thousands of people in the u.s. And the u.k. Complain of the same problem. Please do something about it. I as 50 years old and been paying taxes for 35 years. Working since I was 15 years old. Stand up and do something for a agency that was put in place to do so. I would greatly appreciate it. I look forward to your response.

Extremely bad oil consumption the car uses a quart under 1000 miles and has received all of the updates with this problem that audi offers. This is a manufactures defect that plague many models and this should be recalled to assist the consumer before its too late.

I have an audi a4 2007. Friday, march 5 I was driving to work and the car starting revving by itself, but slowing down at the same time. I was forced to put it in neutral and coast to the side of the road. Took it to the dealer, they said it was the fuel pump, replaced it. Saturday, I was the last car on an exit ramp preparing for light to change, but when I pushed the gas, the engine revved to 5, but would not move. Car was in drive position. While this was happening, a ford f-150 was heading towards the rear of my car, but swerved in time I assume after seeing my hazards on, which I did immediately. The truck barely missed clipping me. Finally, I turned the car off and back on, and it got up to about 20 miles per hour, enough for me to get off the exit ramp. This car burns oil through every 1200-1500 miles. Audi is aware of this problem, in addition to the ignition coil problems with this vehicle. I had 4 coils replaced, but only after I got the letter of the recall from audi. I was told the whole time the jerking of the misfired coils was 'normal'. I am not the only one who has had the same issues. This year of car is unsafe, and should be recalled to fix the oil consumption issues before the damage occurs to the engines.

Since I got the car, a4 cabriolet 2.0t, I've been adding oil approximately every 3000 miles. The dealer was courteous, and ran the oil consumption test when it's around 9000 miles. They advised it's within the normal range, and I should see improvement. Well, it's now 21k miles, and I am still adding oil every 3000 miles. The maintenance guide said to change oil every 10k after the initial oil change, but never mention the need to add oil every 2-3 month. How is it normal? I talked to other audi owner, and no one ever had to add oil before scheduled oil changes. I decided to file this complaint after I saw other complaints w/ the same the issue on the mycarstats.com.

After leasing the car 2 months later I had to add oil to it. The engine burns oil like crazy. 1 quart of oil per month to month and a half. The engine oil warning light has come several times causing me to pull off the road into the closest gas station to buy some oil. Depending of when it happens, this has been somewhat stressful. I have been told this is normal. I do not think so. If they had told me this, I would not have leased this car!
