Good Evening Gareth I hope you are well. Thanks for your advice, to be honest i have'nt really decided what to do other than keep a diary as to how frequent i top up. I am an accountant by trade and i am asking for advice as this is way beyond my comfort zone. I appreciate everyone's advice and i will need to keep a litre in the car at all times. Take care Adrian

Good Evening David Thanks for your posts .. can i ask for your advice .. i cant believe an engine with 55K miles on the clock is like this. I have spoke to Audi and to get it fixed will cost £4,800. I traditionally keep my cars for 10+ years and i have had this for 6, im not sure whether to get it fixed or sell it for reduced market value. Your feedback would be appreciated Thanks Adrian

Good Evening Gareth Thanks again for your help. I have had the car for 6 years and it is serviced regularly and maintained as necessary. Just my luck to buy a car with a problem 😔 I am unsure what to do - i would like an A3 saloon but to buy one of these would cost me £12.5k after a 5k part ex quote. I have decided to maintain a log of the mileage between re-filling the oil. Would it be an idea to take it to Audi and ask them to confirm the issue if they put it on the diagnostic machine ? Could the engine deteriorate and go "bang" in the future. Thanks for your continued help Kind regards Adrian

Good Evening I have found my engine number and even though i cannot be sure that i am effected i have read an article originating from USA. It says that owners should contact Audi - i know that this sound mad but i have done less than 60k miles and therefore the car should be covered. It also says the problem will get worse and eventually the engine will fail as the the cylinders will "score". Any suggestions please - should i consider getting rid of the car ? Sorry to be a pest - it also suggested recording the mileage interval that i top up Many thanks

Good Evening Steve & Gareth Thanks very much for your help. I will complete this when i find the document. Sorry i have another question, is this likely to deteriorate ? My car is petrol, i have had it for 6 years and i was going to keep it for another 5 or so years. Its a lovely car and i have looked after it, this has put a question in my mind whether i should keep it for that long. Thanks again Adrian

Thanks Steve & Gareth Sorry to be stupid is my engine code included within the windscreen long code ? Where do i go on the internet please to see if my engine is effected ? If it is, is there no cure and do i just need to keep topping up ? Yes i have had the car 6 years, i would'nt mind paying the repair if it fixed the problem. Thanks very much for your time and replies Adrian

Good Afternoon I am hoping that someone can help. I have an Audi A4 S-Line with 58K on the clock. However i need to put a litre of oil in it every few hundred miles - i estimate that i use 20 litres a year. My Mechanic says to find out what it is he would have to strip the engine - is this a common problem. Thanks very much APJ
