I bought “used” A4 of 1086 miles a month ago and have been happily riding for another 1400 miles (for track maintenance, it is ~ 2500 total). At this point, my “low oil” warning light has come, and I have to say it, agitated. I took a car directly to the dealer and went to tell me that this is completely normal, all blown A4S liter of oil every 1600 miles. Maintaining professional told me that all “high-performance turbocharged engines burn much oil,” and that Audi is blamed on American driving, as it apparently is not happening in Europe. Then he told me to just come to the dealer each time the light comes on and they are top of my tank.
It was a whirlwind for me, and I am beyond surprised / upset that my new car had to be burning oil that often! What if I drive 2000 miles trip? I have a hand in the back of oil my car? Each new vehicle (and used for that matter) NEVER issues like this before and I’m not happy. Is it true what he told me the dealer? Is what I expect from my Audi?
Thanks for any feedback.

umm, so they have what they consider “right” amount of oil to the engine for combustion. We all slept a few, and old cars can not, but I did not notice, because it was not so much or no warning audi. Regardless of this, to some extent, so is it normal for them to burn more oil than other cars and will get better as the engine breaks in more.
Yes this is normal. My BMW is not about 1 every 5k. It was a shock for me too coming from Toyota that they never added between changes. I’m going through the same thing and they told me the same thing. I’m not afraid of my turbo so it makes sense. I’ll tell you that is not happening for me every 1600. I would say that every 3000 or 4000th
Right, I understand that new and for that matter all vehicles oleju.Starszych slept little cars, which applies both new and used, high performance, and even a 2007 Audi in this area. I have never ever come across this problem or even heard of. Moreover, just turn off the phone with Audi of America and said they believe that “in order” to burn 0.5 qt to 600 km. The company knows that this is a problem, but there is no literature on this subject, which I find suspicious. What are the long-term consequences of such an engine oil consumption?
As for your comment, said that I could experience some “higher” mileage oil for my car breaks down, but it would be 2000 miles per liter? Either way, it is not very much, and what, if I go on a distant journey? This whole issue is still amazing to me … none of the older models even had an oil consumption problem. The lowest I’ve seen on these topics was the 4000 miles to the warning light in much older cars.
I have a 2006 A4 2.0T that burns from 1 to 1.5 liters of oil every 5,000 miles. My dealership says its normal, but everyone is saying at all. Anyone else trouble is this normal?
Mine does the same. I have to top it every 3000kms per liter (oil change). This is because the Audis with a thin synthetic oil is not as old mineral oils used in cars years ago. You probably should change the oil every 5,000 miles to protect against the accumulation of sludge
I am thinking of buying a used Audi A4 2000-2002 model. The asking price is $ 10,000-12,000. Mile range from 85,000-115,000. Is this a good purchase? How do these cars hold up, while performing 90K miles? Do you have a lot of mechanical problems and it is expensive to fix them? I am 22 and just a good job, so I want to buy a used car NICE, this is a good car to buy?
Hi Chris,
I have the same problem and I have ben back and forth with Audi and the dealer. This is my 2nd 2.0, 2007 A4, and one a 2005, does not burn oil …
I have 16K on this one and 9 months left before, I turn it on after 2 year lease or buy, and no way I’m buying this thing.
Audi is brushing me told me to 1 liter every 6000 is normal, my burning 2.2 half between 5000 and 11000 … Now at 1300 miles from 15 k service, already burned at least 1 / 2 quart, if not more …
The dealer also told me: “do not burn after 15,000″ ya right! I told Audi if this thing still smokes and you can not fix it, I call a lawyer!
Peter
I was wrong again!
The bayonet is 4,000 miles below the half mark indicating some real burning oil and I’ve had enough!
I called Audi and preserve Lawyer …
My advice, do not buy VW or Audi with the 2.0, you may be a problem!
I’ve never seen a new car, burning oil like an old bomb on the road!
As far as Audi is concerned, I want the engine was replaced, torn apart and fixed, replaced or lease the car solved, they have 4 options, or I bring Connecticut law “lemon” …..
Now the lawyers because of the incompetence right …
Peter
No Junior!
Audi called the other day and said that the works of engineers in Germany (so they say …) and the seller says it is all related normal parameters …
This is my 3rd A4 1.8 T and 2.0 2005.5 and I got rid of the last six months early to 13,500, because 07 ‘was a better deal! Decrease or smoke. Audi told how this can be normal for a new car at the time, 9000 miles to the combustion of oil and old bombs? Synthetic mind you. They jerked me and Audi after more than 6 months with this and I’m fed up.
My lawyer says its cheaper this way than the Audi, let alone admitting a mistake, but instead of the engine probably cost way more than $ 10,000 …
Settlement may be anywhere from 4000.00 to 10000.00 from anywhere from 2000.00 to 1 / 3 of legal fees, so …
Let me know if you need help. They are a nationwide company too and they 99% sure I have a problem!
What I have to buy the Audi over the BMW, the last call-VW Audi cars no more for you!
Peter
Hi,
I have a 2008 2.0 Audi A4. After driving 2000 miles in my new Audi my oil light came on. I took it to Audi and they said sellers of oil was low, but this is normal. Then, about 4,000 miles my oil light came on again. Well, what do you know my oil is low again. Are saturated my oil and sent me on my way. Not again! At 9800 miles my oil is low agin. I’ve been back and forth over the situation with Audi. They claim issuei oil consumption is due to the way synethic burns oil. This is my 3rd car from syntheic I never had this problem in the past. Today corprate office told me that I go through so much oil on the race due to the 2.0 style of design from Audi.
