Audi Q5 - Audi Q5 Tfsi oil consumption - SUVfanatic

Hy everyone,

My father owns 2011 Audi Q5 with 2.0tfsi petrol engine and manual transmission. From the first day he had problem with oil consumption and only after 3000km car asked.for additional 1l of oil. In Audi they sad it is normal for thia car to use 1l on 1000km which is strange to me because I had many cars and nun of them used so much oil.

After some time he demanded oil consumption test after which we got result of aprox. 1l of oil on 1300km. Just one thing to be clear, this was the only time car succided to drive more than 800-900km without topping up so I believe they inserted more oil.

Few days ago I read on HJ Q5 review situation where owner was tricked by dealer, he had same problem and they told him just to keep them informed, after warranty time they sad to him that he needsto change pistons and rings which is very expensive.

Also I have found interesting information regarding this engine in usa where some owners went on court against VW Usa and in the end they signed settlement according which VW will pay them reparation, costs, expend warranty and many other things. It was for 2.0tfsi engine code CAEB, and my engine has code CDNC, and I have found one document which says that is the same engine. My extended warranty ends in 6 months during which I will try to get reparation of engine, I would like to know did anyone else had this problem?
