Re: Pistons/Rings Replaced = Still Burning Oil Help
Hi Tilhasbb, right now they are changing the piston and rings on my a4 2010 with 76,000km the car was burning around 1 liter for + or - 1500km and i am not hard on the car..... i am afraid that i will experience the same problem as you do..... lucky enough my car is covered with a extended warranty!
but not so sure for the future....

Re: Pistons/Rings Replaced = Still Burning Oil Help
I was burning about .98L/1000km. Did oil consumption test and failed. Changed the pistons and rings.
It is still burning oil. Told me to try a few thousand kms for the rings to sit properly. 5000km later. It is burning about .85L/1000km, that wasn't the problems.
Audi topped it off 650kms ago and now it is at 50%. They refuse to do another oil consumption test. I have to pay for it on my own...
What can i do?

Re: Pistons/Rings Replaced = Still Burning Oil Help
Well my Audi 2.0 litre was an oil burner till the dealer switched to Mobil 1 from Castrol. I would strongly suggest you use Mobil 1 in your new Audi too. Never have heard of any Audi 2.0 litre burning oil with Mobil 1... but we have with Castrol. Just read the posts here and other places. Good Luck!

Re: Pistons/Rings Replaced = Still Burning Oil Help
I had a VW passat diesel that had problems with the oil chain, and was one of the first to have it changed over to a gear drive in the GTA( not done at a dealer as they ignored the problem or did not admit there was a problem- thanks Brandon!) so that I would not have any problems. I like to drive my cars and if a different oil grade/ brand might solve an issue I have.. well I am on board.

Re: Pistons/Rings Replaced = Still Burning Oil Help
I saw that. I was just wondering if I had Audi Care, what oil do they put in? Castrol 5w40? Audi rebranded Castrol oil?
I've always used 0w30 Castrol in my previous car (E46) and had no issues with the car at all. Kinda regret getting the Audi Care but life goes on.

Re: Pistons/Rings Replaced = Still Burning Oil Help
I have Audi care and then please re read post # 35.. again use Mobil 1 0W40 and bring the oil to the dealer for your oil changes, and if they complain.. tell them "The customer is always right", and in this case if you use Mobil 1 then you will be right. Those dealers want to replace engine parts etc are simply looking for work... this is what they do, first they replace some small things and then they say they have to replace the engine, which is crap. Engines are never rebuilt to the same standards as factory engines. (unless we are talking F1 or Nascar etc.!) Use Mobil 1. Don't people get it???? What's the big deal changing oil brands??? Save yourself a lot of grief.. I prefer to drive the car and see if it in my driveway and not the dealers lot waiting for service.
