Problem overview

Some Audi A4 Quattro owners report experiencing excessive oil consumption, particularly in models with the 2.0 TFSI engine, which can lead to significant problems such as loss of power and costly repairs. Many owners find themselves needing to top up oil between recommended oil change intervals, which can be both inconvenient and problematic. Specific models, like the 2009 Audi A4, have been noted for severe issues related to high oil consumption, raising concerns about potential engine damage. This excessive oil consumption can result in low oil levels, putting the engine at risk and possibly necessitating new pistons and rings, indicating serious internal component issues. It is recommended that owners experiencing these symptoms consult a qualified mechanic for a thorough inspection and necessary repairs.
