Re: oil consumption in new 2007 A4 2.0T Quatro
Audi A6 3.2 FSI 37K miles 2005 on variable service.
Mine had a service last week at Audi Poole in the UK and did pose this
question.
I was told that due to the extended length between services for the new
engines the oil type goes through the engine quicker. So more spend on oil
but lower servicing costs - I guess.

My 2007 A3 3.2 didn't use any noticeable amount of oil before its free
5K change. I don't have a turbo, though. 1 quart per 1500 miles sounds
like an engine defect to me. Not only could accidentally run out of
oil, but there's going to be a lot of ash running through your exhaust
system. Hopefully you live in one of those areas where the warranty is
very long on emissions equipment.
