My car has recently been in for its Pistons and conrods due to high oil consumption. I've had the car back a few weeks and the oil had dropped again about 2 segments and today the low oil pressure warning light came in the dash for about 30 seconds then disappeared!! I'm wondering if it's a leak...
I've had my piston rings and con rods replaced recently and the mmi oil level has already dropped a quarter in 180 miles!!! I am fuming!!! I'll be keeping a close eye in this and it will be going straight back if it continues
It's always handy to know the ins and out of your own car. A good bit of knowledge can save a lot of money but like you said the stanp is the important thing lol
Considering Scott has the 2012 1.8TFSI as his display pic I'm assuming this is his car which is the revised model not only on looks but engine wise too, the newer shape A4 doesn't suffer from the excessive oil consumption so rest easy Scott lol
I've got the 1.8TFSI 160 and mines was using 1 litre for 390 miles!! Luckily I got a free rebuild just recently so just waiting to see if it's sorted for good
I was advised once the light came on the car was no longer to drive the car and it had to be recovered otherwise the consumption test would be incorrect. I booked my car in when it was on the bar on the mmi and luckily enough the light came on 2 miles before I reached the audi garage
Add my name to the list of cars requiring an oil consumption test!! Already failed with an independent garage now it's been to audi approved for the software update and start the test again!! Must add mines is a 1.8tfsi though...
hi guys,
Complete new audi owner for the last month. I have a Audi A4 B8 1.8tfsi which has failed the oil consumption test! Having only bought the car a month ago secondhand from a well known car dealer in Scotland the car is under warranty and is booked in for a full engine rebuild next week...
