| Description of the problem | I have been dealing with an oil consumption issue on my 2015 audi q5 for a good part of this year. I service my vehicle regularly and oil consumption had never been an issue until the engine light came on in march. I live in fl during the winter months so i took the vehicle to audi of melbourne on march 12, 2020, odometer reading 75,755. At that time, they completed part 1 of an oil consumption test and informed me to return the vehicle if the engine light came on or i drove 1,000 miles. Because of the coronavirus, i returned to ky and the second part of the test was completed by audi of lexington on march 31, 2020, odometer reading 76,920. I was informed that the vehicle passed the oil consumption test (no report provided) based on the parameters established by audi usa. I continued to monitor the oil level, adding when nearing the minimum level. Realizing that oil consumption was worsening, i contacted audi of lexington and scheduled a second oil consumption test. Part 1 of that test occurred on june 23, 2020, odometer reading 77,793. I was told to drive the vehicle until the engine light came on or i had driven 700 miles. Audi of lexington completed part 2 of the test on july 21, 2020, odometer reading 78,534, and again the vehicle passed within audi usa parameters. I believe the oil consumption was . 49 quarts. I purchased the certified pre-owned vehicle from audi of lexington on april 18, 2015. The cpo warranty is set to expire on august 23, 2020 and i fear the engine will fail sometime before or after that date. I know there is a serious oil burn issue that i had never experienced on any other vehicle owned during my lifetime and while acceptable to audi usa, it is not acceptable to me. While the owner |
