Thanks Gareth I will start keeping track of the mileage/ oil consumption as I’m in a van most of the week the missus poodles about in it, I use it in the evening/weekend and never really keep track I just know it just seems far to frequent to top the oil up. Yes not giving the car back and digging my heels in at the time was a mistake . I appreciate your reply and this is pretty sound advice. Pretty much my chain of thought. Although I would spend some money on the car if I knew it would resolve the issue as I find it such a joy to drive ! Start ..don’t start 🤔

Hi ppl . Am new to forum but looking for some help and advice. I have had my S4 b7 for a couple of years now and love it but I have an issue that always been present ! it drinks oil I have to fill to up with about 3lts per month . when I purchased the car I noticed the oil light after only two weeks of owning, I had the car sent back and the dealer apparently had the piston rings replaced, although I never received any paperwork to confirm this . It didn’t really ever solve the issue and after some research I found it was fairly common to get through a bit of oil and have carried on buying oil in bulk and topping up regular. The car smokes after engine breaking a grey smoke and the car always smells after giving it a blast around . I would like keep this car for the foreseeable future so ideally would like to sort the issue . Any advice on where to start will be much appreciated please.
