I searched the site but nothing really seemed to be exact, so here goes.

I have aB7, 2.0T, Stick car. It consistently uses 1 quart of oil in 1000 miles, nothing visible, no performance issues. It has under 10,000 miles on it. The dealer says that is normal. I have a neighbor with the same identical car, a few months older, and it uses no oil even in 10,000 miles. So, is it normal and my neighbor is lucky, or is it abnormal and I am not being told the truth? I have never honestly heard that this car would use oil. I know many american cars do.

Thanks in advance!

 

It being normal is BS, take to them and have it fixed. This shouldnt be your problem to fix on a new car

 

I have a B7 and i havent seen a drop of oil on the ground and my oil sensor is saying its low. I think the dealer is giving you the cold shoulder.

 

No car should use the amount of oil. My B5 has 185K miles and I use a quart every 4K miles.

I know where my oil is going: 1: Oil pan leak for last 120K miles. 2: turbo bearing starting to go.

 

I sort of agree, I don't know anyone with a new(er) audi that uses oil... I think the dealer knows it is a lease car and they are just avoiding me on it.

 

Tell the dealer to fix it, take the car back with a refund, or give you another one.

I don't know how it works for lease cars, but this should fall under lemon law for a normal purchase. Basically the dealer is refusing to fix the defect under warranty.

Here's part of the CO lemon law (just picked a state at random):

FWIW my car is a 2001 1.8T and I never notice it losing oil. Every time I check it it's at the same spot on the stick.

 

Since with an Audi lease, the car is technically owned by Audi, they have a vested interest in the car being right, I would think. Why would the dealer care, it has a problem and they get paid warranty to fix it no matter who owns it.

I am not a high mileage driver, but if I was, say 30,000 miles a year, that is a quart of oil every 12 days (or 1000 miles) in my case. That is just silly.... who buys an Audi expecting to add their own oil every 2 weeks.

 

You need to talk to AOA.

 

Change the pcv valve, the 2.0T engine on the A3 seems to burn that amount of oil a lot more commonly now around the 20k mark, and its now starting to happen on the A4. It wouldn't suprise me if they release an updated pcv valve soon.
The only reason the tech didn't want to work on it is he is required to do an oil consumption test which is a huge pain in the *** and Audi won't pay him a cent for doing it either. It requires draining the oil and taking off the old filter, weighing it then putting it back into the car. Then you would drive it for 600 miles or more then take it back to the dealer. He then does the entire procedure again and measures the difference in weight. If its outside specs then he can now diagnose the problem, but not before.
Its a huge pain the *** for both of you, so you're better off just replacing the pcv valve by yourself because he HAS to do the procedure before replacing the pcv valve or he gets his peepee wacked by audi.

 

if u have a dog, sick it on the person at audi who told u that. that's total BS. if they still say no, i believe there's a number u can call that goes to audi headquarters and they'll make sure the dealer fixes it. basically jsut make a big scene. lol
