Thanks Gareth, yes you're correct on these assumption. Saving grace might be the MOT was in place before dealer I bought it from had the car, and passed everything OK, so hopefully nothing fishy has gone on there. I will probably look into selling it as manageable or not, it's never getting better just a question of how quickly it gets worse... Thank you again for taking the time to reply. regards Scott.

Hi Gareth, Thank you for the reply, interesting considerations there that I'd not thought of - there is hardly any smoke coming out...? Out of curiosity would you know what the end game of this problem is? Will the engine just die eventually or limp on but with increasingly regular oil top ups? I'm guessing the more oil leaks into the engine as it get worse the power will fade away as it impairs combustion etc? Essentially I'm wondering what will happen if I keep it and just drive on? best regards Scott.

Hi Steve, Thanks for taking time to reply I appreciate it. I'd read that Audi would not be much help given the age and service history. I don't really want to pass the problem on by selling the car but my guess is the repair will be disproportionate to actual value of the car. Guess I'd better get my thinking cap on and make a decision. Thanks again. Scott.

Hello everyone, New to this and am hoping to find some advice. I've recently (6 months ago) bought a 2009 A5 2.0L T and soon had needed to top up the oil a couple of times. Completely unaware of this known issue that i have now read up on so think i understand the problem. i devised a DIY test. My understanding is Audi claim this engine will consume about 1 litre of oil every 1200 or so miles. Last time my oil warning came on i topped up with a litre and reset the odometer. The oil warning came back on after only 383 miles..... I've not much service history unfortunately and i am confident i don't have an oil leak, so.....How concerned should i be? Thanks for any advice ! Scott
