I have a 2002 A4 1.8T Stock.
I'm burning oil (fast) in the exhaust with no noticeable leaks causing it to smoke and feeling a little power loss.
Whats the problem???

 

Is the smoke coming from inside the exhaust pipe or from around the outside of the pipe?

 

It's coming from inside the pipes, going out the mufflers...
smokes from just turning on the car to driving around.
any ideas as to what it could be?

 

If the smoke is blue then it looks like oil is getting into the combustion chamber. Many reasons for that, but none are good. Start by doing a compression test and verify all cylinders are good and then take it from there. There is also the possibility that the turbo broke.

 

Yea thats what i was thinking as well. Okay anyway my friend is lending me his compression tester and i will do it asap.
hopefully this will scope out the problem..thanks a lot for your help!

 

Just did a compression test and got good results.
cyl 1- 180
cyl 2- 185
cyl 3- 180
cyl 4- 187
This should rule out some things, but i also found oil in my coolant reservoir. coolant looks dark red brownish. So somehow oil is mixing with my coolant.
anyone has any ideas as to what could be causing this?

 

Looks like your head gasket's gone buddy

how often do you have to top up on oil?
Did the car overheat?
How many miles on th car?

 

It was the turbo went so i had to get a new one sucked but now the cars runs so much better
thanks for the help
