CAR BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL. THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME. OIL CONSUMPTION IS NOT NORMAIL. I HAVE TO ADD OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. FROM WHAT I HEAR FROM OTHER AUDI OWNERS TO REPAIR THE ENGINE IT WILL COST AROUND $6,000.00. THE PISTONS AND RINGS ARE DEFECTIVE AND SINCE THERE ARE SOOOO MANY COMPLAINTS, AUDI SHOULD RECALL THIS ISSUE AND FIX IT FOR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES.

AT AROUN 63K MILES , THE ENGINE REACHES THE MINIMUM LEVEL AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 3K MILES. THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL BUT PREVIOUS YEAR Q5'S WITH 2.0T ENGINES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUES.

Oil consumption is getting worse and worse. Currently, I am adding a quart of oil every 3 days in between regular oil changes. This is a real issue. I just spent 5,000 dollars approx. on a tune up at a foreign car body shop but they could not repair the oil issue. This is now a known issue with Audis. What can be done to help this issue?

Extreme oil consumption (burning 2+ quarts in less than 500 miles); cutting off while idling. Yes it is available for inspection upon request.

Check/add oil indicator; check engine light; emits black smoke from rear. Issues appeared 2 days after purchasing the car.

WITH 100,000 MILES THE VEHICLE STARTED USING OIL QUICKLY. OVERTIME AFTER OIL CHANGES HAD TO CONSISTENTLY ADD 1 LITER EVERY TWO WEEKS. WITHOUT NOTICE VEHICLE COMPLETELY FAILED AND WOULDN'T TURN OVER. EVERYTHING LIGHTS UP AND WORKS ON THE INSIDE BUT THE ENGINE WON'T TURN OVER WHICH IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS 2011 RECALL. THIS CAUSES ME TO HAVE A NON WORKING VEHICLE AND STILL HAVING PAYMENTS. WHEN ASKED ABOUT REPAIRING WAS TOLD I NEED A WHOLE NEW MOTOR AT A MINIMUM OF $8,000.

I HAVE CODE PO299 TURBOCHARGER/SUPERCHARGER A UNDERBOOST CONDITION. I WAS UNDER WARRANTY IN 2016 TO HAVE MY PISTONS AND RINGS REPLACED BECAUSE THE OIL CONSUMPION WAS VERY HIGH, NOW I'M BURNING MORE OIL AND I CHANGED THE DIVERTER VALVE I'M STILL COMING UP WITH P0299 CODE AND NEED TO REPLACE MY TURBO AFTER 60K MILES FROM THE PISTON AND RINGS REPLACEMENT...I THINK THIS ALL HAS TO BE PART OF THE SAME PROBLEM AND AUDI SHOULD REPAIR IT FOR FREE.

I NOTICED MY OIL LIGHT COMING ON FREQUENTLY AND AUDI TOLD ME THAT THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A FAULTY HOOD LATCH SENSOR. AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS I ENDED UP PAYING TO REPLACE THE HOOD LATCH ONLY TO FIND OUT A MONTH LATER THAT MY OIL LIGHT CAME BACK ON SO THEY TOLD ME JUST ADD OIL. AFTER ANOTHER YEAR THEY AMOUNT OF OIL HAS INCREASED RAPIDLY AND I'M CURRENTLY AT 79,600 MILES. I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON MY CAR UP TO YEAR 2011 ON THIS EXACT ISSUE. PROBLEM IS I HAVE A 2012 THAT WAS ORDERED IN 2011 AND I HAVE THE SAME ENGINE MODEL CAEB HAS THE OTHERS. I FILL UP 1 QUART EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK. AUDI TOLD ME IT WAS OKAY TO KEEP FILLING WITH OIL AND IT WOULDN'T BE ANY DAMAGE, WHEN I FOUND OUT IT DOES CAUSE DAMAGE. THERE IS NO OIL LEAKING FROM THE BOTTOM, SO IT IS SCORING IN MY PISTON RINGS.

SINCE JANUARY 2019, THE VEHICLE OIL LIGHT HAS BEEN TURNING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. I WAS TOLD BY AUDI DEALERSHIP THAT IT IS NORMAL TO ADD A QUART EVERY 1000 MILES OR SO. I AM ADDING A QUART PER 100 MILES. WHEN COMMUNICATING WITH AUDI DEALERSHIP MY CLAIMS WERE DISMISSED AND I WAS TOLD WORK COSTS TO REPLACE PISTON RINGS WOULD BE OVER $6000 DOLLARS. WHEN RESEARCHING CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, MY ENGINE CODE IS THE ONE THAT IS AFFECTED BY THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM, BUT WHEN COMMUNICATING THAT TO AUDI OF AMERICA HOTLINE, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REWARDED ANY EXTENDED WARRANTY.

AT THE STATIONARY MY STEERING IS VERY STIFF, AND IS VERY HARD TO TURN IT. I ALMOST HIT THE PARKED CAR AND THE PERSON STANDING NEXT TO IT WHEN I WAS PULLING OUT FROM THE PARKING LOT. ALSO THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSTIC IS THAT THE STEERING SHAFT IS HAS THE TENDENCY TO SEIZE UP AND LOOK AND IS VERY DANGERS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE AUDI USA AND THEY SAY IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM AND THEY WON'T TAKE ANY ACTIONS TO FIX THIS. I AM PRETTY SURE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO COMPLAINS ABOUT THIS. AUDI IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND ACCORDING TO THE COMPLAINES ON Q5 THEY IMPROVED THE STEERING SHAFTS, BUT DON'T WON'T TO TAKE CARE OF THE PREVIOUS KNOWN ISSUE TO THEM. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY OF THE SURROUNDINGS AND FOR MY FAMILY SAFETY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, ACCORDING TO THEM WHEN I REPORT THE ISSUE THEY SAY THAT I DON'T HAVE STRONG CASE.

THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON APPROXIMATELY EVERY TWO WEEKS SAYING IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE BUT ADD OIL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SINCE 2 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR. I ADD A QUART OF OIL EACH TIME AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO GET CHECKED I WAS TOLD THIS CAR WAS CHECKED FOR THIS ISSUE PREVIOUSLY. THEY SAID THERE ARE NO LEAKS THAT THE CAR IS JUST BURNING OIL. THEY GAVE NO VALID REASON. THE CAR HAS BEEN CHECKED TWICE FOR THIS OIL PROBLEM AND NO RESULTS. WHEN I WAS TURNING ONTO THE HIGHWAY A MONTH AGO THE CAR LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID TURN OFF VEHICLE NOW. NO WARNING OTHER THAN ADD OIL CAR IS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STALLED OUT AND TURNED OFF AUTOMATICALLY BEFORE I WAS IN PARK. ONLY GOING ABOUT 5-10 MPH. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I TRIED TO RESTART A FEW TIMES AND IT FINALLY STARTED. I WENT HOME AND ADDED OIL TO IT YET AGAIN. I NEED TO ADD OIL WHEN'RE THE LIGHT COMES ON AS TO NOT HAVE IT SHUT OFF ON ME.

WHEN I REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKE ROTOR AND PAD, I FOUND THE LOWER CALIPER GUIDE PIN BUSHING WAS STUCK. IT STUCK SO BADLY AND TOOK A LOT OF HAMMERING TO GET IT OUT. THE BUSHING WAS HEAVILY RUSTED. SINCE THE CALIPER WILL NOT MOVE WITH A STUCK BUSHING, THE OUTSIDE PADS WILL NOT FULLY ENGAGE WITH THE ROTOR TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE BRAKING FORCE. NOTICED THE INNER PAD IS ALMOST GONE WHILE THE OUTER PADS STILL HAVE 5MM LEFT. THE BUSHING IS SUCH A SMALL YET SAFETY CRITICAL PART, SHOULD BE MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL. AUDI CHARGES MORE THAN $40 FOR SPARE, WITH THAT PRICE, ONE WOULD EXPECT BETTER QUALITY. YET IT SEEMS AUDI PUTS PROFIT ABOVE SAFETY.

I PURCHASED MY 2012 AUDI FROM CARMAX WITH 20,??? MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS 106,000. I NOTICED MORE OIL CONSUMPTION THAN IT SHOULD. I AM VERY VERY ON TOP OF MAINTAINING MY VEHICLES. REGULAR MAINTENANCE ORIGINAL AUDI PARTS DURING REPLACEMENT.... THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD THE CODE CHECKED AND IT WAS TURBO BOOSTER PROBLEM AND CRANKSHAFT. WAS TOLD FIXING CRANKSHAFT MAY POSSIBLY FIX TURBO BOOSTER CODE WITHOUT PAYING $3,000-4,000 TO FIX. AS THEY WERE FIXING IT I WAS TOLD THE CRANKSHAFT HAD RED LETTERS ON IT MEANING IT CAME FROM A JUNKYARD PRIOR TO MY PURCHASING IT! SO IT HAD TO HAVE GONE BAD BEFORE 20,000 MILES WHICH IS RIDICULOUS! SO I PAID THE $500.00 TO FIX IT AND DROVE IT 158 MILES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. SO I JUST BURNED $500.00 FOR NOTHING! I LOVE MY AUDI BUT I WILL NEVER EVER PURCHASE AN AUDI THAT IS SUCH AN UNRELIABLE VEHICLE AGAIN. IN DOING RESEARCH I SEE THAT 2012 AUDI ENGINES ARE VERY VERY BAD NEWS! APPARENTLY THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF AUDI OWNERS. BUYER BEWARE!

CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE CAUSED BY JUMPED TIMING CHAIN CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAIR TENSIONER. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE ON 12/03/2015 WITH 45,483 MILES. I MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE AT INDEPENDENT MECHANICS DUE TO THE DISMAL SERVICE AT THE ONLY DEALERSHIP IN TOWN AND ITS POOR ONLINE REVIEWS. I FREQUENTLY ADDED OIL TO THE ENGINE WHEN PROMPTED BY THE CAR. ON JANUARY 10, 2016, I LEFT THE GYM AND STARTED MY CAR. IT TOOK LONGER THAN NORMAL TO TURN OVER, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE NEXT DAY, I TOOK THE CAR TO AUTOZONE WHO PULLED THE P001600 DTC CODE (CRANK POSITION SENSOR AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CORRELATION). I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC, WHO ALSO PULLED THE P001600 IN ADDITION TO THE P02900 DTC (TURBO UNDER BOOST). THAT MECHANIC ALSO HEARD NOISE FROM ENGINE TIMING COVER AREA AND COOLANT SEEPAGE/LEAK AT THE WATER PUMP AREA. THEY RECOMMENDED THE CAR BE TOWED TO A SPECIALIST, WHICH WAS DONE. HE PULLED THE P001600 (237) DTC CODE AND A P0562 LOW VOLTAGE CODE. AT THIS TIME, I CONTACTED AUDI OF AMERICA AND NOTIFIED THEM OF THE ISSUE. I WAS MADE AWARE OF THE TIMING CHAIN CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THE DEFECTIVE TENSIONER, BUT INFORMED THAT MY VIN WASN'T COVERED. AT THEIR RECOMMENDATION, THE CAR WAS TOWED TO AN AUDI DEALERSHIP. ALL SERVICE RECORDS, OIL RECEIPTS, ETC WERE PROVIDED TO AUDI. AUDI "DECLINED ASSISTANCE", LEAVING ME WITH AN UNDRIVEABLE CAR, A $750 BILL FROM THE MECHANIC, $55 TOW BILL, $150 (AND GROWING) RENTAL CAR CHARGE, AND AN ESTIMATE OF OVER $8K TO RE-BUILD THE ENGINE. ADDITIONAL RECORDS AVAILABLE.
