Go to Audizone.com/A4b8 for a complete list of VAG-COM mods. The chimes are really annoying.

First thing I would do is get an trans oil change. Cheaper than a trans. The LIFETIME oil isn't good for life.

If you purchased the dip stick, its for a 2 liter motor, not specific to our motors. The correct level for that dip stick is, full = the "A" mark in MAX.

There is a huge thread about this issue on Audizine.com. In the US Audi is facing potential law suits because of this issue. Might be worth the read.

I was lucky, Audi paid the full cost. In the States Audi is facing the possibility of major law suits. They are fixing most of the "stock" cars free.

If you go with the 2.0TSFI check oil use. 2009 & 2010 had a problem with excessive oil consumption. The fix is new pistons and rings. One fixed the engine is great. Horror stories at audizine.com. My 2009 TSFI was fixed at 45,000 miles and now uses no oil between oil services. Now at 102,000...

Unless you can get the updated part very cheaply, save your money and time. The shudder will return. Audi never completely fixed the issue.

This is the standard procedure. One they find that you have excessive oil consumption if will take approximately one week for the engine to be rebuilt. On the good side, you will get the car back with a new motor. It's a pain but worth the effort. My motor uses less than a liter between factory...

Check out Audizine.com, b8. There is a sticky on this subject. The 2.0 FSTI has a known oil consumption issue. The information on the site could help in getting Audi to step up and do whats right. They replaced my pistons & rings and now the engine does not use any oil between services. Good Luck.

Go to audizine.com . what you want is there.

If the MMI says to add oil before you reach 600 miles, take the car back to the dealer. DO NOT ADD OIL YOURSELF.

With the warrantee that Audi gave you, it's the right thing to do. Enjoy your almost new car.

Oil consumption issues are a big problem for Audi in the States. Audi replaced my pistons & rings with 5000 miles left onthe Warrantee. Audizine.com has a major thread on the issue. Go at Aude, you have nothing to loose.

Go to the APR web site, they will answer most of your questions.
