oil consumption in new 2007 A4 2.0T Quatro
I say 1 quart in 1500 miles in new machine is a bit much.
Dealer says no.
I have 92 Lincoln Mark with 130,000 miles that uses 1/2 quart between
service.3-4K miles
A 2202 Ford Sport Trac with 110,000 miles that uses even less.
And a 1 Ton van worked like a dog that only uses a quart between
changes at 5,000 miles.
My brand new Audi with superior German engineering drinks the stuff
comparably.
Anyone else with Audi oil consumption issues?
Regards,
MrShade aka Roscoe
Knowledge is like money, the less you talk about it
the more people assume you have.
Dealer says no.

I put 12,000 miles on my 2007 2.0TQ and never had any issue. Granted, I
never really checked my oil myself but I for sure never had any issues
with being low on oil.
Presumably if something is out of whack with your turbo, you'd burn more
oil.

Dealer is right. It's possible your consumption could improve after 10000
miles but probably not much. There has always been considerable variability
in Audi oil consumption but I doubt you'd ever see the low consumption you
see in your other cars. Of course, if and when your "external lubrication
system" kicks in, you'll consume even more!
