Audi Q5 2.0T B8 Misfire / Oil Consumption. Can it be saved???

[@RS-sb6fv]

I have a 2016 TSFI and was adding a litre every 430 km- I have done all sorts of ‘snake oil’ engine treatment additives and can now go 600+km before adding oil. Mind you it’s gotten cold in Canada and I’m not sure if that’s playing into less oil burn. I’ve got all the supplies for a piston soak but have no garage so I am forced to wait until spring. I appreciate this video as it given me some hope in the piston soak trick- what have I got to lose? I can add a crap tone of oil for the cost of a ring job….

4oz of B12 in each cylinder let sit for 24hrs then blow it out and use copper plugs because it has more surface area for the spark and easier starting. then drive it for 20-30mins and change oil did it to a k series and no issues its been 2 weeks

Hi Can i do piston soak on a diesel engine please

[@bushmaster1740]

Mix in some light oil, like MMO to get the deposits to detach and soften. Valvoline has a new product to clean the oil control rings from below.... An intake spray like CRC will help the valves as well as rings. Otherwise, soak, spray whatever, these engines need top end cleaning.

I put Denso IK20 for my 2012 Q5, IK22 may be too cold and get more carbon buildup

@@litelu0426 these plugs were just put in till he found a buyer. Even if I had installed the laser platinum, those plugs would had fouled up within the same week.
