@NaptownTuner !!! I did it! After watching many of your videos, I just finished rebuilding my 2.0T for the oil consumption issue!! First rebuild ever, and now I'm back on the road. I took my time and planned and ordered parts for about 1.5 months leading up to it. And then I spent about 4.5 days on the rebuild, using Wossner forged pistons - a perfect replacement because they are the latest waffle ring design, and they maintain the 21mm wrist pin so that I could reuse my (2010) OEM connecting rods. Thanks so much - really appreciate all of the great content and knowledge that you've provided.

I am(was)a Ford Master tech 15 years. I am a "back yard" now. You remind me of my journeyman. I love the way you talk and operate. Hell. I hated working on Audi's. I had my first loss of compression (piston 2, valve burned a hole) anyway. I didn't want to do the job, lack of knowledge. I struggled and after a few channels I found you. My Angel with the pretty hair. I finished the Job 2 days ago. Man. I am pussywhiped, but for TFSI. I long for more. What you do is invaluable. I live in South Africa. Labour on Audi's are expensive. I did my best job possible. Thanks to you, I saved myself from the wrong tensioner, upgrade timing chain, timing, timing cover. F..k. Thanks to you I made good money. Thank you. P.s I know the video is a year old, but you changed my workshop forever. Your no.1 fan.💕

[@terminal-velocity111]

So glad I’ve found your channel. I’ve a 2019 Golf R. It was an ex demo and had 2k miles. It’s munching oil at 1ltr per 1k miles. The dealer has told me it’s normal! My wife’s VW 2003 V5 sport is now 17 years old. We’ve owned the car from new. I was warned about potential oil consumption by the dealer. I decided to go old school and ran the engine in for 500 miles and didn’t take the revs above 3k. Then I asked the dealer to change the oil at my expense. They refused saying it wasn’t due for a service. I then took the car to an independent and had the oil changed. The oil is changed every 5k miles, 17 years later with 190k miles there is no oil burn at all. I’m certain that car companies are fitting inferior internals and mixed with harsh early life driving, is making them burn and consume oil. Best wishes from Edinburgh, Scotland.

I have a 2012 Audi A4, obviously the oil consumption issue was not addressed for that model year. I purchased the car new in March of 2012. My car started consuming a qt. of oil every 500 miles driven at around 45k. Finally had the rings, pistons and timing chain replaced last fall when the car hit 58K. Car runs great, now. No oil consumption and with the recent addition of a CTS intake, down pipe, CTS intercooler, IE aluminum intake manifold, and custom tune. You’re the man, you know your 2.0 liter motor!

On my 2010 audi a4 oil consumption was so bad that every 350 Km I had to add 1L of oil I have never seen anything like that or ever heard! and I have been driving all sorts of cars in my life this one was the worst ever. What the heck were Germans thinking? I have installed non wafer style oil control rings with $140 ebay malhe pistons on my 2010 audi a4 , but I knew about the problem with the piston rings so I did something on my own and took a chance, I enlarged all of the holes around pistons with a drill bit slightly larger, put engine together , now I can't believe the results I got , now I don't even top it off because every 5000 km it only consumes 1/4 of a litre it's mind blowing and I am so proud of my self . Dealer will tell you that 1L every 1000 km is normal that is bullshit they are just covering it up for their unengineered piston rings period. I should also mention that I have deglazed the block sleeves with silicon carbide flexhone bit . I want a comment back if you agree or I just got lucky on the modification. So far I drove 82000 km since then and no top offs, I change oil evary 7000 km Mobil sinthetic eoropean grade OW40. I just had to share my story , thank you so much, I picked up some of your trick which I am grateful for.

Awesome video! You explain everything in such detail, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have a 2012 Audi A4 Quattro 2.0L which has always burned a bit of oil and slowly over time it has gotten worse & is now to the point of burning approx. 1L every 2500km (worse if I punch it at times which I now try to avoid). If I do try to accelerate quickly (punch it) it actually seems to choke a bit (no codes) prior to kicking in.

This is really great content, subbed. I was wondering, is there a way to clean the carbon off the oil rings without taking it apart? I read an anecdote that driving on highway(2.5-3k revs) for 600km on new oil change got the pistons hot enough to get rid of the excess carbon and the car didn't have oil consumption issues for a year. Does this sound possible to you? Also, would fuel/oil additives help the issue in the short term? Thanks so much for the content

I have a 2014 Q5 2.0L. I’ve watched practically all of your videos as my ride seems to have all the issues. I’ve spent $6g in the last 3mo, practically everything under the hood has been rebuilt, replaced, updated, etc but it continues to slip or stall every time oil is added (basically 300 miles). I was told by Audi Asheville and my Audi guy the issues weren’t related to the oil consumption, however, I believe it is. We’ve recently done the B12 soak/cleanse to see if it will reduce the oil consumption. I wish I could bring “Jemima” to you, to get your opinion. And FYI, Mahle is pronounced Ma-Lee. I’m from Morristown, TN where there is a Mahle plant, and as a matter of fact, my high school hall passes 25yrs ago were Mahle pistons LOL.

[@vickm3428]

Hey Naptown, been watching your vids for some time. Recently picked up a 12 A4 2.0T, wasn’t aware of the oil consumption issue. My question to you is, if I pull my motor, pull the pistons, and give them a good cleaning, will this correct the oil consumption issue? Or it’s MANDATORY to replace the pistons and rings? Love the vids btw keep them up 🙏🏼

[@monica93304]

I've used Kolbenschmit and Mahles in my aircooled VW builds over the years. Good parts. I hated working on TFSI engine at the shop. The concept was good, but parts quality from the factory not so good. Especially the cam bridge. Once those screens fail, your head is shot. We had lots of chain tensioner failures as well. That's an awful lot of carbon in the oil control rings. Seems like a combination of lack of frequent oil changes/cheap filters, and the inherent build up that of carbon thanks to the direct injection. Unfortunately direct injection is here to stay. My 2001 Audi S4 with 200K miles consumes less oil than these engines. I had to do the carbon cleanings as routine maintenance. Once you clean the intake ports up with walnut shells you're good for another 40K miles. Good money for the shop, but sucks for the owners. Great video for the home mechanic trying to understand why their VW's and Audi's break their hearts and wallets.

[@phiksit]

So much for "german engineering". Can believe how ridiculously tiny the passages are on the oil control rings.

You're definitely killing it in the space you're in. I'm rebuilding my 2011 Audi Q5 starting in a week or so (I already have the front clip off for easier vs faster removal and install) just waiting on a few parts. I ordered the ebay special 23mm rod and updated piston special. And to my surprise they are the latest waffle style rings. I was burning 1qt every 400 miles before I decided to rebuild. I put 30k miles on my Q5 last year. So within a year or two we will see how well the cheap parts hold up. I also do a lot of highway driving and pulling my 4000lb boat. So it will be no stranger to extra stresses.

Thank you for you videos, it's a great source of info for DYIers. Wanted to ask if replacement of pistons can be done without removing the engine. Any links to such information? I've done oil pump replacement on my 2012 2.0T Q5 and it was tough to get to couple of bolts but doable.
