Re: Pistons/Rings Replaced = Still Burning Oil Help

Hi,
first time poster here,
looking hard at buying a 2009 A4 avant with 91 000km on it. I got the service history, and it seems like the services were done a bit late...all between 15 000 and 18 000km...From the service sheet, the car doesn't seem to be burning excessive oil...Extended warranty valid until april 2015...do you guys think that the way it was maintained could cause this oil burning issue to appear?

THanks,

I'll update on results. Best case scenario, no further work is required.

was the test under warranty? did it help?
