@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.💕

[@grantbradley5084]

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!

[@zeroxthree568]

@Ballinonabudget any update on that ? i recently aquired one of these a4's and it is burning a qt oil after only 100 ish miles >_

[@nicholascalandra7690]

I love your videos man. Extremely knowledgeable, detailed and down to earth delivery. I picked up a 2011 a4 with 65k miles on it. I put $8k worth of mechanical work in it already. This car would be perfect for one of your piston videos, if you ever journey to Orlando! Keep up the good work!

[@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.

[@julianpuzio7234]

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.

[@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.

I have a rule of thumb when embarking on a big job that takes days or weeks for me (an advanced level DIYer). Don't ever cut corners and cheep out on the critical parts that take a lot of work and time to get to or could have a catastrophic failure and ruin your project. Nothing like having to do a job multiple times and if you try to minimize that as much as possible and cut out the reasons for having to do this the better off you will be in the long run even if it cost more.

If I do try to accelerate quickly (punch it) it actually seems to choke a bit (no codes) prior to kicking in.

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.

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.

The compenents were purposely designed for lower friction, they lowered the tollerences to do this. The fix is to replace with a larger piston and a higher tension ring. The replacement design specs are the one found in the VW 2.0

[@blatt5478]

Hello You have very good videos. As much as I know, there are new pistons. The pistons you used are going to lose oil again, because they also close it.

[@thedubdoctor]

Interference engines = both the valve train and the bottom end (piston crowns) occupy the same space inside the combustion chamber just at different times . SOOO if said engine jumps out of time then they will contact each other

[@MrLeewsee]

I personally am not convinced that the carbon build-up is caused by direct injection design - not even in the intake ports. I believe it has to do with the crankcase breather design which is closed loop. vaporized oil and combustion byproducts are being re-introduced back into combustion chambers.

[@noitrex]

The first dude i see that explains that there are 3 types, the original with the small holes, the ones with bigger holes in the oil scraper and the last update with piston and different oil scraper ring and different rods. I tought the first update of the oil scraper ring resolved the oil consumption, that is what i have right now after the repair. I looked online at the time and found the different piston and rods that supposedly were for my engine and i thought it was an mistake not knowing that those were the best ones. But also i think this engine you have in the video was not maintained properly, the oil sludge in the pan is a clear sign. Oil has detergents in it that help with this kind of stuff, but it has to be changed regularly and it should be the best quality especially the engines with this problem.

[@NaptownTuner]

Yes I’ve had countless pans off and if running synthetic oil it should look good with zero sludge, someone might have been cheapin out on synthetic blend or regular oil. I believe the oil ring is carbon from fuel though and not bad oil although it certainly helps to keep clean good oil in it as well. I haven’t prematurely taken too many of these apart but I’m gonna start taking all of them apart and maybe make a competition video or piece meal them don’t know yet so everyone can see what they all look like.

I hear the oil sludge in a well maintained engine is caused by using different brands of synthetic oil. The oil additives between different brands are likely incompatible, and causes the buildup.
