Hi guys, has anyone experienced this before ? I've read a few scary stories about the 07-08 2.0T engines burning/consuming oil like crazy.

I have a 2007 2.0T CVT FWD and this problem starting happening this summer.

The PCV valve cracked, and the engine was making this very loud whistling sound and was shivering. Brought it to dealer, the changed the valve. And it was cool. Then it cracked again ! same loud sound and shivering. Brought it to dealer and they fixed it and did an oil change. Then about 2000Km later, min oil light came on. They said it was normal and topped it off with more oil.
Then again, the min light came on after about 2000Km. This time they suggested to do a full oil change and monitor to see when the min light comes on. Well it came on 2500Km later. I just can't believe that you pay over 35K for a car and you are bothered by little things like that. It just kills your mood.
Don't get me wrong, i love audi and i love my car. I just want to know what the heck is happening. Any suggestion is appreciated.

 

Yeah, there are a bunch of the 2.0T's that have bad seals, and causes high oil consumption. Unfortunately, they won't do anything about it unless your consumption is more than 1 qt per 1000 miles.

 

bad valve seals?

What grade oil are you using? Are you using 5W-40 in the summer and 0W-40 in the winter? using the 5W in the summer might help. It's thicker.

 

i am pretty sure i put in at least a quart every 5k.

 

Bad valve seals? Come on now. The PCV system is all messed up, you need an upgrade.

Its just spitting oil into the intake and probably out the oil cap. Go ahead and take off the intake line to the throttle body and see how much oil is in there, i bet a 1/4 quart is chillin in there. I changed an intercooler on an A3 with a bad PCV one time and got my entire shirt covered in oil, i was pissed.

 

Have to agree... and the cracked PCV's are the dead give-a-ways...

 

i cant see oil anywhere around the engine or cap..only thing i see is black exhaust pipes? what does this mean with the pvc upgrade "Revamp kit takes care of the commonly occurring PCV issues in tuned 2.0T applications". is my stock b7 a tuned application?

 

esandes: All my oil changes were done at dealer, checked the bills and they use Castrol Syntec 5w40 all the time.

auditech79: I did find that page before when i was researching the problem. The thing is, i need to find someone who knows how to install it. Is it something a regular mechanic can do, or do i need to bring it to like a performance shop or something more specialized.
I don't mind spending the money as long as it fixes my problem.

 

Wow, some people's theories are extreme.

1) Replace your PCV valve
2) Black Exhaust Pipes are caused by the FSI technology and when your engine is cold - it floods the cats etc etc etc
