You must be beginning to forget what it looked like, going to need some love with a clay bar when it comes back I bet. I thought they would just slap a short engine in and be done with it. What I also want to know is how bad the head and the cat will be on mine. It must of been doing this...

That didn't look overly good :( Currently back in discussions with Audi, trying to see if I can get the price down a bit, anything under 2k and will go to them to be sorted. Should be getting a call back tomorrow. It's getting too expensive to run with the amount of oil it's drinking. Good...

Glad you had a better result than me with Audi. Mine will be going into DIALYNX in the near future and it should cost me half the amount Audi wanted to charge.

I did tell them I was taking it to Dialynx as they can and would do it cheaper. There was never any better offer on the table. For the price Audi quoted I could get forged rods & a lightend / balanced crank done by dialynx. Car is into Dialynx tomorrow for breather test / mod. Oil seperator...

Mine has 67k on the clock. Audi have not charged me anything thus far, I am now at the point where they have offered to cover 100% of the parts and reduce the hourly rate from £120 to £75 for the bottom end to be sorted. This would leave me a bill of £2500 or there abouts. I have been in touch...

Received a call from Audi today. They have confirmed that it still has an issue with oil consumption but were surprised how clean the tail pipes were. Once I explaned that the black on them was only 200 miles worth as I had polished them to see if the last fix had worked. Just have to wait now...

Audi called back today, it's going in on the 21st for consumption test 2, told they will have it for 2 possibly 3 days. This could well mean they will be doing my bottom end for me (oh er missus). I think I will give them a call tomorrow just to confirm I am not going to end up with a £3.5k bill...

It's not looking good for mine, 150 miles covered so far and MMI is now half way:( I spoke with the service department today to give them an update, now awaiting a call back. If Audi refuse to help with this part I will look at getting forged pistons and H beam rods fitted and deal with the...

Does look very good. If you don't mind me asking, what was the damage for having that done?

Mine was in Audi today for consumption test 1 - left a note in the car at the same time explaining just how much oil it uses. They have skipped test 1 and gone and fitted the breather bits and bobs to the car. ( I was at work and the wife picked it up ). It now has 600 miles to prove itself or...

The blue tint bulbs will lower output, but the 80w rings will more than make up for it. I have used these in the past and while I found them good to start of with after 6 months or so of being on a lot ( over winter ) I found the output to of dropped off a fair bit. Still on par with standard...

Car was into Audi today for oil consumption test 1. Left it with a note explaining just how much oil it had used, by my very vague calcs it's a litre every 255 miles. Makes the RX8 look good. LOL. I guess they decided to skip test 1 and fit the crankcase breather stuff and pulley something or...

Have posted this in the thread with my car in, but thought I would also post here so people are aware. Phoned Audi customer services today, they know there is an issue and believe my car shouldn't have the issues it has at this mileage and with full history. Booked in at local dealers on the...

Phoned Audi customer services today and they sent around to my local dealer. Been told that they know there is an issue and that they will help customers out :) happy days there. Just back from the dealers and it's in for consumption test 1 on the 25th. Can't remember the mileage he said I...
