Complicated answer lol since I’ve had the car oil consumption always been poor. But then I had the oil chain pump failure, changed leaky rocker cover, leaky oil cooler and now to do leaky oil filter box, never ending nightmare, money pit situation. I not sure if I even know what normal oil consumption feels like if you’ve read the link details. 

Hi all I’ve finally gotten around to making a petition for my grievances against Audi UK please share and sign. I don’t want myself and others to suffer in silence. 

Can you help me out by signing this petition?

Update February 2018 Audi garage told me sounds like the starter motor wearing out. 

What you guys thoughts re sea foam carbon build up engine clean? Good or bad? Worth the money? What company can do a good job in London?

Never a dull moment with this car, new minor I hope issue. Every now and again randomly it makes a short low 2-3 second sound weird errrr noise only on cold start up? Should I be worried or just minor I can ignore?

I recall my golf mk4 starter motor for years made a loud horrible sweek on start up but I could not be bothered to spend the money to replace as it did not effect driving the Car.

Audi uk employees even said to me they would charge me a diagnostic fee I'm not sure if they ment for the oil consumption test or after but either way I was not best pleased hearing that.

Sorry to hear your having a bad time Richard but this is becoming a too common problem on vag cars. My dad's 2013 1.6tdi a3 and 2016 2.0tdi Passat both burned too much oil for our liking. Keeping working on them though as I do hope there is some factory good will they can do. 

Cheers

Nah I can't be bother I've consigned myself to having to purchase edge castrol 5w30 edge every year out my own pocket :( this is crazy. I'm seeing loads of people across the world with this same complaint yet Audi uk say this is normal oil usage wow. 

Ok update after talking to three different people from Audi two from Audi Uk and one from dealership. The two from Audi Uk both twisted the words of the article saying words to effect "this only includes vehicles from 2011 and upwards, your vehicles not included" I had to point out that no where on audis article says my vehicle not included as it would fall under the OLDER vehicle classification on article. Eventually I spoke with a man from the dealership he said audis oil tolerance for my engine is 0.5 litres per 1000 miles which is totally acceptable. I do roughly 8000 miles a year so that would mean a lot of top up as engine capacity is something like four litres? Crazy  

Ive never experienced nothing like this in my life having owned other vehicles in past (non Audi) to me it sounds abnormal and I can't understand why it's normal for a Morden day vehicle to burn so much engine oil? Bad engineering? Etc etc? Crazy. 

I also found this link on Audis website.

12/12/17 booked in for an oil consumption test part one, must do 620 miles after and bring it back to Audi. 

Mannnnnn my head got spun hard I called Audi Harold wood told him I need a minor service as Audi Chingford said major, minor, minor. He tell me he's been working for Audi for years and that's wrong! Major, minor, major is what Audi recommends he said uve been told wrong. I said ok give me a major Chingford told me spark plugs are separate from service he said no that's wrongs spark plugs included in full service price of £329. He even put in a little jab we much better then Chingford. Who telling me correct Chingford or Harold wood? Is it as Chingford said major, minor, minor, major. Or harold wood major, minor, major?

I know it's a long shot but what I got to lose apart from them telling me to get lost lol

Hi all

this subject has has been doing my head in for weeks. I've spoken to friends, looked on various Internet forums and I'm still struggling for an answer. 

With AWD do I have to charge all four tires at the same time?

2015 I put on four brand new mitchlin ps4's today the front pair have about 2mm left, and the back pair have around 2.4mm left. 

I know it's preferable to change all four at same time, but I'm trying to watch the penny's, but I also do not want to do any damage to the Quattro system. 

So my my question is can I get away with just changing the front pair with two new ps4's?

Hi all

I've been on Halfords website and looked at the leather conditioner/restorers and there's a lot with bad reviews to from memory so I ask here the experts :) 

What's best leathers conditioner/restorer for my full leather seats that's at a reasonable cost that I can do four or five seats in one go.

My seats are in good condition have the usual ten year old line creases. I just want to make sure they stay in good condition for another ten years.

Any ideas lads preferably if I could order online or just walk into a shop you guys recommend would be best option for me.

Hi

This subject had bugged me for years. So thought I'd ask my fellow driving enthusiast here. 

What's best technique to go around a corner/bend, Quattro 2.0T At say between  20 to 30mph? Re my car it's has a fifty-fifty power to wheel back to front bias and tires mitchlin Ps4's.

The car has never ever spun out on me or back kicked out. But I want to know what's the proper and safest way to corner without wiping out my car ever is the goal.

I must confess to always getting myself in a muddle with me doing all at different times but still unsure of best approach with the set up on this vehicle.

Do I;

A) approach corner at 30mph take foot off the gas, then accelerate half way through corner, and power out.

B) approach at 30mph and gently hold throttle as you straighten up on exit  accelerate away.

C) approach at 30mph and aggressively  hold throttle with tiny steering inputs as you exit carrying that momentum while still accelerating away.

I had this same fix and issue on my old mark 4 golf gti 

I see Magnet

Boot could not open without key manually, rear registration bulbs blown, rear fog lights out. 

All went at the same time, with the lights warnings coming up everytime on start up. 

Took to car to Auto Electrical in East London. 

They had it for a couple of hours and fixed the issues in about five hours. 

Charged me under fifty pounds, It was the boot wiring hinge wiring loom again three wires broken. (Cost me around £60 to fix earlier this year when one wire broke).
