I have a 2007 2.0T Avant. 3 months from the day I picked up my car, the engine oil light has been lighting up almost every month indicating low engine oil. I've been back to the dealer at least 10 times in the past year to refill the engine oil. And the dealer tells me nothing is wrong and its normal for the engine to consume this much oil. I have only 6000 miles on the car.

Anyone have the same problem. What are my chances of getting Audi to replace my engine/car.

I had to add oil twice before my 5k service... dealer told me its normal during the engine breakin.

Same here, about a quart every 2-2.5k miles. Dealer says normal.

Unless there is blue smoke coming out of the tailpipe or oil dropping on your garage floor, it's fine. The engine will break in and the oil consumption should drop.

Somewhere between 10-15K miles, the oil consumption should level out. Probably on the longer end of that scale since they are using sythetic oil.

Never had to top up the oil

In every make and model of car- some WILL burn oil. Factors that cause it could be; poor break-in (causing the rings to not seat correctly), slightly off tolerances from the factory, or even driver error causing minor damage. Audis are not exempt from these circumstances.

Its not the end of the world. If you keep it topped off, no big deal. There are plenty of Audis on the board that consume a bit of oil. Over time, the issue may resolve itself as the engine continues to break-in.

All that said, It is the owner's responsibility to keep it filled. You should learn to fill it yourself, and monitor how much it is consuming. If it consumes more than a certain threshold, you may be eligible for repair under warranty.

Also understand that the less oil you have the more likely you are to create other problems for yourself that won't be covered under warranty, and the less oil you have, the faster it will be consumed and the faster it will breakdown. So keep it filled to the proper levels.

My B6 S4 took 1 qt every 1K, my 20.T doesnt at all. its just weird but normal.

way and have never needed to add a drop of oil between changes. My first A4 went to 113k before I sold it, and I *may* have added it once on a road trip, can't remeber for sure. My new Audi is at 22k miles and none added yet.

If it is consuming some oil, however, it's not the end of the world. Just keep it topped off and see if the consumption eases.

x2 no probs with mine. maybe yours came with a wankel engine.

Buddy has an A4 and it's been babied and still babied. Probably never ever revved past 3500RPM. And it eats oil like there's no tomorrow.
