| Description of the problem | Excessive oil consumption car has 2,300 miles left to the 10k oil service check change and showing low oil. This is not normal audi is trying to say to just top off the oil, yet excessive oil consumption will cause the car to need engine replacement earlier than it should at about 70-80-100k miles at best. There are many complaints and a class action that involved this issue but they refuse to do more than change oil and check for leaks when they know it is due to defective parts and i am under a certified warranty until october 2019 |
