Problem overview

Some Audi A4 Quattro owners report experiencing high oil consumption issues, with some vehicles burning oil at a rapid rate despite regular top-offs. While the owner's manual states that up to 0.5 quart every 600 miles is considered normal, many drivers have noticed significant increases in consumption, prompting concerns. Repair costs for addressing the oil consumption problem can range from $3,700 to $6,600, underscoring the seriousness of the issue. Additionally, owners should be aware that oil consumption is not the only concern, as these engines may also face problems with timing chain tensioners, water pumps, PCV systems, and turbochargers. If oil consumption escalates from one quart every 2000 miles to every 600 miles, it is advisable to consult a mechanic or an Audi dealership for diagnosis and resolution.
