So I had my Audi Q4 for 4 years now and it is up to 80,000 miles. I'm constantly putting a quart of oil every 5-6 weeks and trying to figure out whether it's worth getting it fixed or getting a new car since it's burning oil. Almost feel like the car is burnt out.

Any suggestions?

Holly, how many miles do you cover every 5 - 6 weeks?

Well put it this way, I put in a quart of oil at about every 1200- 1800 miles. Also, I am trying to figure out why my headlights are flickering up and down. I do not want to pay 300 something dollars for a diagnostic.

Your fortunate your car made it 80k before the consumption issue began, hopefully you sold it.

Always wanted an Audi, and bit on my 2014 Q5 Prem + without doing dilligence. Did I get a sad one. No heat at first... but flushing heater core(lots of crud) brought 50% in Jan/Feb(NC weather)
But also dripping oil on the underneath to tune of 1 qt/700 miles.Not sure if I'm burning, but definitely have thefilter gasket nhousing needing to be replaced for $800. 98K, and like the car........ will pay tohave oil drip stopped, and hope it's not burning oil.
Any thoughts??

After owning a 2012 A4 Avant purchased new, I loved the car. However it was a money pit. Oil consumption issues, failed fuel pump, water pump, the list continues.
From what I heard the same issues were experienced in the 2.0 up to the 2015 model year. My advice to you, sell the car ASAP, and don’t look back. Being a fan of the brand I did acquire a 2021 TTRS. Apparently these engines are bullet proof.

If you haven’t already, sell the car. I had a 2012 A4 2.0, horrible engines! Dump it.
