    2009 Audi A5 excess oil usage

    Audi Audi Advice Audi A5 Audi A5 Advice Audi A5 2009

    I am having oil consumption issues with my 2009 Audi A5 2.0T quattro, which has travelled only 32,000km. I believe this is a worldwide issue. In a lawsuit against Volkswagen America in 2012 it was shown that more than 120,000 cars were faulty and Audi covered all repair costs. It is a design flaw with the piston rings, and will cost thousands to fix. Do you have any advice? I don't know whether I can do anything under warranty.

    If you car is like Gay's you probably have a case. No surprise that when I approached Audi Australia the company agreed to conduct and cover all costs for an oil consumption test. If the excessive oil consumption is in fact caused by a manufacturer fault, Audi will cover parts and labour cost.
