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??
 
HI rajie, survey the spare parts cost.
If you can accept, then buy with no regret.
Nice ride...this 0000 car in my "beri jalan" list. lol...

Seems is quite common issue to burn engine oil.....:hmmmm:
 
0.5-1ltr every few weeks:hmmmm2:
that much...this is reali2 serius

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.
 
Audi looks great but maintenance & reliability eeergghhhhh....few of my colleagues sold after 1-2 years driving A4 due to high maintenance....
 
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..

hahaha i like the way you put it.
 
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:

Now with paint deterioration, it will further decrease the value of the car. Spent more than RM200k and get this kind of result... :banghead:
