I have a friend who owns a 2010/2011 model and the car eats engine oil like nobody's business, something like 0.5-1ltr every few weeks. It seems that this engine is typically consuming more engine oil but he said his one is more problem as it's too much.

Anyway why do you want to buy this car??

Yeah it was becoming too much and hence he downgraded the oil to just the cheapest mineral oil 20w50. :biggrin: Don't know if he has OH the car already or not now.

Its common knowledge that these engines have defective piston rings, its a design fault. Many more issues with thermostat, water pump and other electronic gremlin awaits..if u have no other problems in life and wants some..go ahead buy an audi..

my neighbor has one similar model A4. When bought new, really sayang....everyday the car shiny.
Now, the car is parked at roadside, outside, with peeling paint.

Why I asked. The owner just geling-geleng kepala.....You fill in the blanks la....

Means the paint really sucks badly. The A4 B4 is not very old. To think that the paint starts to peel off this soon when exposed to the harsh weather... :banghead:
