Excessive oil consumption. Car was purchased at texas direct in stafford, texas. Car consumes approximately 1 quart of oil every 600-800 miles. At this rate I am consuming 15-20 quarts between regular manufacturers oil change recommendations. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I bought this vehicle with a good price. The car itself runs pretty good but have found out that it burns oil and it is factory problem. I have done some research and it Audi has this kind of problem. High oil consumption it consumes 1 qt every 200 miles.
I was lucky that my car did not fail while driving down the highway like other owners with this problem have. The timing tensioner and chain failed, causing a costly repair. I understand that there are three class-action suits against Audi-vw regarding this problem, yet no recall. Why? I want Audi to pay for this costly repair and have a recall. I can send photos if necessary. *tr
Tl*the contact owns a 2010 Audi a4. While driving approximately 30 MPH the check engine light illuminated on the dashboard. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where she was informed that the vehicle was burning oil very fast. She was also informed that this was a normal occurrence for this type of vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired but she was advised to check the oil every 300 miles. The failure and current mileages were 4,800. The VIN was unavailable.
I bought the car 2 days ago and on the way back from the dealership I'd already had to add a quart of oil, 2 days later after refilling and I'm basically back to zero on oil. I don't drive much so this is ridiculous. The oil consumption is much higher than it should be, I've driven maybe 400 miles and I've had to add oil twice. I've never had to do this with any other car before, this is mad.
Audi knows about this oil consumption issue my car is one of the thousands of affected one it's require more oil just after 300 miles and Audi won't fix it asking for 6k to 7k to fix the engine I barely have 110k miles on the car. Audi need to recall their and fix it for free
Timing chain tensioner failure. The failure caused the timing chain to jump, throwing the pistons out of sync, causing damage to the valves. This occurred when first starting the vehicle.
Catastrophic engine damage caused by failure of timing chain tensioner. No early warning as vehicle was serviced the day before by Audi dealership and oil capacity and pressure were within manufacturer's tolerance. Vehicle was in motion at slow speed when check engine light came on.
Oil consumption issue resulting in constantly topping-off oil, purchasing oil by the cases. Audi of america clearly states that the Audi dealership is required to fulfill the repair obligation, since my vehicle is within the 80k mileage/8 year time frame, Audi is liable to make the relative repairs. However, the Audi of tysons dealership seems to believe otherwise and refuses to assume the responsibility of repairs. The dealership completed part one of the testing and requested that I return once the oil light illuminated. After returning to the dealership, the resistance began. After providing consistent service records of oil changes that exclude the "odometer readings", the Audi dealership did not go to the next phase of testing/repair. As a result, the vehicle has stalled on the beltw
The contact owns a 2010 Audi A4. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who determined that the timing chain tensioner needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact that there was low compression in the engine. The manufacturer was notified however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 Audi a4. The contact stated that while driving 10 MPH and making a turn, the vehcle lost power. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal and the vehicle began to function properly. The contact called the dealer who stated that they were aware of the problem. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000 and the current mileage was approximately 7,500.
I was driving to work and as I slow down to park I heard and felt a pop in the engine. Luckily I was able to use the momentum of the car to park. The engine would not turn back on. After work I went back and the car would not turn on. The engine would just clank really loud. I had it towed home and the next day I called the mechanic. I then towed the car about a week later to the mechanic for him to check it out. After a few days he said that the engine chain tensioners broke and caused catastrophic damage to the engine. The repairs would cost $4800 and or we can put a new engine for $6300.
This car consumes oil and needs a refill every 200 miles or less. *tr
Fully stock engine and drive train car experienced a timing chain tensioner failure. Being an interference engine, this cause catastrophic damage and the car requires a new engine. I was fortunate this happened while stationary at a gas station. I had driven about 100 miles and stopped for gas. Attempting to start the car yielded cranking but no turning over. The car was towed to a mechanic who confirmed the failure via engine compression. The failure could have happened while on my highway drive at highway speeds putting myself and the drivers around me in danger. This is a known issue and a class action settlement is taking place. The manufacturer should be forced to recall all affected vehicles for tensioner replacement.
Bought the car used from a dealership that inspected the car for any defects. While test driving the car, I had to return the car to the dealership for repairs. The cars fuel pump was failing and causing excessive misfires. Then about two months after driving the car, it began to use oil excessively. I checked for any leaks and found none. I contacted the dealership and was informed that anything less than 1qt per 1000 miles was considered normal under Audi standards. Personally I don't agree! Now approximately 20000 miles later and 8 months, it burns a qt of oil every 300 miles. I know this is excessive as I can now see and smell oil from the exhaust. I contacted Audi for a resolution since there are numerous complaints about the excessive oil but as expected, since I did not buy

Purchased a used lease vehicle in 2014, 63,000 miles on it. Looked like a creampuff. Carfax was clean. Used oil excessively. Was told by local dealer I could not get car fixed per class action settlement because I was not original owner or did not have all service records. Car has now had an intake valve failure in cylinder 3 while driving on highway at normal speed. Possibly caused by defective piston rings breaking. 101,000 miles and just out of extended warranty I purchased for $2500 extra. Car is not drivable and stuck 3 hours from my home. Audi of america says car was "fixed" in 2012 and will not release maintenance records, citing privacy of previous owner, a corporate lease. Audi dealer in melbourne fl who did the repair in 2012 will not release records so I do not know what was f
Car randomly shut off after making a quick turn causing it to lose power and stopped in the middle of a busy intersection. Luckily I was able to make it to the side of the road before the car completely turned off. Waited for a few moments to try and start to car, after the 3 time trying, the car starte.
