2009 Audi A4 1.8 turbo

Summary:

Audi must have shares in Shell Oil

Faults:

Very disappointed with the excessive oil usage. I am using 1 litre per 800km. An Audi oil test said it was using oil in an acceptable range of 1 litre per 1000km. What a joke, Audi needs to step up and take responsibility for its poor handling of this very common fault. Do not buy an AUDI!

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

That sounds excessive - I've had 5 Audis, and in the owner's manuals, the highest it should consume is 1L/1000 km, not 800. Even then, I barely had to top up the oil.

Check the owner's manual - if it says it should only be a certain amount, then you have a case.
