 Description of the problemBought the car used from a dealership that inspected the car for any defects. While test driving the car, i had to return the car to the dealership for repairs. The cars fuel pump was failing and causing excessive misfires. Then about two months after driving the car, it began to use oil excessively. I checked for any leaks and found none. I contacted the dealership and was informed that anything less than 1qt per 1000 miles was considered normal under audi standards. Personally i don't agree! Now approximately 20000 miles later and 8 months, it burns a qt of oil every 300 miles. I know this is excessive as i can now see and smell oil from the exhaust. I contacted audi for a resolution since there are numerous complaints about the excessive oil but as expected, since i did not buy the vehicle from an authorized reseller, it couldn't be covered. If the engineers at audi know some of the cars produced with the 2. 0 turbo engine were assembled with pistons and rings that were too small, why hasn't a mass recall been issued to resolve the issue? I would like this issue to be resolved before something more catastrophic occurs.
