I'm afraid that it is very normal for the 2.4 engine and, whilst it is
an additional running cost, it is not, necessarily, indicative of any
damage or wear. This problem does not seem to afflict other engines in
the Audi range - all three of my Audis have been able to go without any
top-up between services. However, my wife's A2 TDi did need one top-up
before it reached its first service at 17k miles!

If you particularly want a 2.4, then you'll probably find that they're
all the same. Otherwise, if you can stretch to 2.8 or would be happy
with a 1.8T, then it might be worth considering changing it.

I have a 2000 A4 2.8 V6 and it uses a litre every 2000 miles. This is normal
according to the Audi Dealer. I have done 25,000 miles in it now and it is
at 77,000. No change at all in consumption. Every time I go to the dealers
there is someone ringing up about oil consumption so it seems to be very
wide. Yours does seem excessive but the spec says that it is ok. Is it
on the AVS regime as this can have higher consumption.
Hope this helps

Re: audi v6
Change it for a V6 TDi like mine and enjoy typically 17,000 miles between
oil changes (variable service interval) with no noticeable oil loss during
that time.
