Audi Of Canada has denied my good will claim for stage 2. I paid out of pocket for stage 1 already.

The dealer cannot help either

I am the second owner and there is very little service history on audi dealer system. They are requesting more service records which is not realistic to produce since I am not the first owner.

Any ideas on how to approach from this point?

Hey guys, good news regarding the Oil consumption issue.

Just received this message from my friend at a dealership:
Fyi, just saw a bulletin that Audi is covering oil consumption for 8 years or 130,000 km from the original inservice date. There are limitations and exclusions 2009-2011 2.0t CAEB

Good luck everyone

Hi,

The oil burning problem looks like is coverred by Audi Canada to A4/Q5
car up to 130.000Km (8y). The coverage is transferable from owner to owner.

I bought my car (Q5 2.0TFSI) from motorland (non Audi dealership)
Toronto at ~112000 km on November 2014. Today Feb 28 I received a
letter from Audi Canada which says: the car is covered up to 8 years/130.000Km
for oil consumption problem (no engine modifications, all genuine parts in the
car, proof of services since I own the car).

My Q5 eats so far about 200..300 ml / 1000 Km (1L - 3300..4000 Km) which
is way below the Owner-manual which says that can take to
1/4 gallons (1L) / 1000 Km.

Should I go for the oil problem to Audi or not ?

Thank you.

...took it @ Pfaff Audi @ New Market. (extremely impressed by the service and personel).
stage 1 done. (ECU, Bolt, Seal). Cross fingers for next incomming timeframe.
After this intervention ... runs much smooth, less noisy, more torque, and looks
like less gas consumption.

I'm still having issues that's why I am pursuing a class action suit.

Guys: My 2011 A4 started to burn excess oil at +- 55k. used 1 leter between oil changes before that. I installed a APR stage II ECU chip, in 2012 with about 35k on the clock. Although Audi have extended the warrenty on the car to 80k (now at 66K) the service managed says because the car is chipped the warinty is void. Do any of you have experience with warinty issues when the car is APR chipped?

If it takes 1L for about ~5000Km I don't think you're eligible for any fixes.

Hey guys, I know there hasn't been any responses to this in a few months but I just wanted to pass on what my Audi dealer told me yesterday when I bought my 2010 A4. I left the dealer and the low oil light came on, I went back and they topped it up. The service guy said that it shouldn't be a problem anymore because they just replaced the pistons/rings etc... due to the recent recall. This is the first I had heard of this issue but in talking to him, this was a recall item. If so, no one should be having an issue with getting this work done I wouldn't think.

...also, reading in my owners manual, it does say that the engine is expected to burn .5 ltr/1000kms. I've never seen something like that before printed in an owners manual.

Dealer ask for $250 for a oil consumption test and if parts are needed $800.All Audi owners should make a big stink about this and have Audi Canada do all the fixes like the Audi US did.
