Scott B Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Recently bought a 2010 A5 2.0, 50k miles with full Audi history. Stunning car. Started using 1l of oil every 350 miles. Now have a £6k repair pending for full engine rebuild which Audi have agreed to pay for all parts? Anyone else had oil consumption issues with their post 2008 Audi?
Audi Owners Club Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I know Audi's that run long life oil and service schedules are actually meant to burn off a little oil so that fresh oil is gradually added but definitely not that much. Have they agreed to pay the labour too?
Bald Eagle Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 A mate of mine has a 2.0 TFSi A5 that was using a lot of oil. It turned out that Audi had a batch of bad piston rings that were causing the problem. Audi had it back and replaced them free of charge, which of course required an engine rebuild. No charge for parts or labour. I think it's a 2011 car, as it's a company car and he's been talking choosing about the next one. Here's a link I found: http://www.lemonlaw.com/wordpress/audi-oil-consumption-problem/
R18-Fan Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I would advise finding an independent automotive assessor to argue the case for labour aswell as parts....if Audi are offering to pay for the parts then it suggest liability on their part which would also suggest they should pay for the labour aswell
Sawbo Ian Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Hi can anyone please give me some advice! I'm looking at buying a A5 2010 TDI And I noticed it had a little Audi case with a bottle of Oil inside, located in the spare wheel well, this made me wonder if these cars suffer from oil consumption ? Please could someone tell me which models have the oil issue's Thank's Ian .
DoDg3 Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 1.8 & 2.0 TFSI engines between 2008 - 2012 had a design flaw. Audi got taken to court for it. https://www.audi.co.uk/about-audi/latest-news/audi-uk-bbc-watchdog-oil-consumption-june-2015.html
DoDg3 Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 The below topic link on the A5OC summarises the issue http://www.a5oc.com/forums/a5-general-q/90849-2-0-tfsi-oil.html#/forumsite/20718/topics/90849?page=1
