THE OIL WAS CHANGED AT 70,000 MILES. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON TWICE AFTER LESS THAN 2,000 MILES. I ADDED OIL THE FIRST TIME, AND IT'S ON AGAIN AFTER LESS THAN A WEEK. I CHECKED A FEW FORUMS ON LINE AND OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. THE CAR IS NOT LEAKING OIL, SO I'M FIGURING THE ENGINE MUST BE BURNING OIL. A FEW MECHANICS I'VE SPOKEN TO HAVE SAID THAT SOME AUDI A4'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR
AUDI CARS CONSUME OIL LIKE CRAZY BUT MY A4 TAKES ONE QUART EVERY 200 MILES AND I COMMUTE EVERYDAY TO DIFFERENT CITY'S FOR WORK AND TO SCHOOL. COME TO FIND OUT THAT I HAVE THE OLD AUDI ENGINE, AND YOU MUST GET THE NEW ONE TO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY FROM THE DEALER IF NOT IM GETTING RID OF THE CAR. *TR
