2010 A4 2.0T Oil Burning Problem (Pistons)
Hey Guys,
I just purchased my 2010 Audi a4 2.0t (6speed manual) with 78,000km in the beginning of April 2014. (from Queensway Audi) Ive driven 7000km so far and every 1500km - 1800km I have to add 1 Liter of Oil. Took the car to dealer they did a Oil Consumption Test and they Determined and replaced Crankcase Seal and Crankcase Breather Valve.. Problem Persisted to happem, Took it back and now they are telling me that they have to replace the Pistons ! How can the pistons need to be replaced on a car that has under 80K on it. I didnt just pay $30,000 to have problems.. Once they change the pistons the car will never be the same and after my warranty is done Dec-2015 I know I will have nothing but problems because now the engine is rebuilt and not original. Anyone else have this problem or have any Tips or Advise i would greatly appreciate some advice and comments as i have to go to the dealer tommorow. Thanks for Your Time, Damian Zielonka |

Your car will be better than it was new. This is a known problem. Think of it as getting a new motor.

I bought my 2010 A4 2.0T 6 speed with 16300km at queensway audi also in 2013...i had the same issue, except they never needed to replace any parts. They simply did an oil consumption test and then had me come back and check the oil levels which according to audi canada was within spec. I have met 2 other b8 a4 owners at my dealership which were there for the same issue...audi said it was normal and nothing to worry about. In your case i would have the dealership replace whatever they think needs to be replaced while its still under warranty. If anything it'll run better.

I wouldn't accept their response. There is a problem with the 2010 and 2011 pistons. The problem will only get worse with time. They put 2012 pistons in my 2010, along with the other changes. Doesn't burn a drop between 15,000 km oil changes.
