2010 Audi A4 Engine

This audi doesn’t have a dip stick that comes with the car. It burns 1-2 quarts of oil a month and doesn’t indicate when your car is low on oil. It’s a guessing game when the engine says put a quart of oil in and I needed 2 and a half quarts to be full. It’s such a saftey hazard I’m surprised audi hasn’t recalled this engine. I spent over $1000 to have everything resealed and fixed because it just ceased one day due to not having enough oil

No oil dip stick. The engine sucks a qt of oil every 2 weeks without leaks and due to the lack oem dip stick not in if you overfill your oil you’ll get bad spark plugs.

Drains so much oil for only A car that takes 4.9L of oil. It’s unreal which causes so many other issues

Engine Excessive oil consumption burning oil then suddenly found out there is no oil in the engine that causes for blow the engine while driving if you don't add oil it's common problem for this car ; asking for solve the issue

The contact owns a 2010 Audi A4. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who determined that the timing chain tensioner needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact that there was low compression in the engine. The manufacturer was notified however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE WITH A GOOD PRICE. THE CAR ITSELF RUNS PRETTY GOOD BUT HAVE FOUND OUT THAT IT BURNS OIL AND IT IS FACTORY PROBLEM. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND IT AUDI HAS THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION IT CONSUMES 1 QT EVERY 200 MILES.

MY CAR USES A LOT OF OIL AND BLOWS CLOUDS OF OIL GOING UP HILLS. AUDI WANTS TO PUT A NEW ENGINE IN FOR $7K BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND REFUSES TO DO IT FOR FREE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW AUDI COULD DO THIS AND GET AWAY WITH IT. NEVER BUYING AN AUDI AGAIN.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR FROM WORK ON A CITY STREET I HEARD THAT IT WAS KNOCKING AND HAD STOPPED THE CAR TO CHECK ON IT BUT WAS NOT SURE SINCE I AM FIGURING THIS CAR OUT. AFTER THAT DAY IT HAD BEEN KNOCKING. A FEW DAYS LATER IT HAD STARTING TO SHAKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND ALL THIS HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET. BUT ANYWAYS WHEN I ACCELERATED TO A CERTAIN NUMBER, THE SHAKING STOPPED BUT WAS STILL KNOCKING. AND AFTER TIME IT JUST GOT WORSE AND WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

I DON'T WHY AUDI HASN'T RECALL THE 2010 AUDI A4 MY CAR WILL NOT HOLD OIL HAD THREE REAR MAIN SEALS PUT IN. EACH TIME THEY REPLACED SEAL IT WAS $1200. JUST HAD OIL CHANGE AND A WEEK LATER NEEDED TO PUT FOUR QUARTS OF OIL IN CAR. AUDI KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT WON'T RECALL THIS CAR. I HAD A FRIEND TAKE HIS CAR TO AUDI AND THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE FOR FREE.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND AS I SLOW DOWN TO PARK I HEARD AND FELT A POP IN THE ENGINE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO USE THE MOMENTUM OF THE CAR TO PARK. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. AFTER WORK I WENT BACK AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN ON. THE ENGINE WOULD JUST CLANK REALLY LOUD. I HAD IT TOWED HOME AND THE NEXT DAY I CALLED THE MECHANIC. I THEN TOWED THE CAR ABOUT A WEEK LATER TO THE MECHANIC FOR HIM TO CHECK IT OUT. AFTER A FEW DAYS HE SAID THAT THE ENGINE CHAIN TENSIONERS BROKE AND CAUSED CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THE REPAIRS WOULD COST $4800 AND OR WE CAN PUT A NEW ENGINE FOR $6300.

AUDI KNOWS ABOUT THIS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE MY CAR IS ONE OF THE THOUSANDS OF AFFECTED ONE IT'S REQUIRE MORE OIL JUST AFTER 300 MILES AND AUDI WON'T FIX IT ASKING FOR 6K TO 7K TO FIX THE ENGINE I BARELY HAVE 110K MILES ON THE CAR. AUDI NEED TO RECALL THEIR AND FIX IT FOR FREE

CAR WAISTES TOO MUCH OIL, I HAVE TO CONTINUALLY CHANGE AND ADD NEW OIL APPROXIMATELY EVERY 15 DAYS OR LESS. I BOUGHT THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO FROM A FRIEND AND UP UNTIL 2 MONTHS AGO THE CAR SHOWED NO ISSUES. UP UNTIL ENDS OF JULY WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR BACK HOME FROM WORK AND THE CAR ALMOST OVERHEATED... I HAD CHANGED THE OIL 6 DAYS BEFORE. I TOOK THE CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND BOTH HAD THE SAME DIAGNOSTIC, BOTH STATED IT WAS A FACTORY ISSUE.

I BOUGHT THE CAR 2 DAYS AGO AND ON THE WAY BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP I'D ALREADY HAD TO ADD A QUART OF OIL, 2 DAYS LATER AFTER REFILLING AND I'M BASICALLY BACK TO ZERO ON OIL. I DON'T DRIVE MUCH SO THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THE OIL CONSUMPTION IS MUCH HIGHER THAN IT SHOULD BE, I'VE DRIVEN MAYBE 400 MILES AND I'VE HAD TO ADD OIL TWICE. I'VE NEVER HAD TO DO THIS WITH ANY OTHER CAR BEFORE, THIS IS MAD.

FULLY STOCK ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN CAR EXPERIENCED A TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER FAILURE. BEING AN INTERFERENCE ENGINE, THIS CAUSE CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE AND THE CAR REQUIRES A NEW ENGINE. I WAS FORTUNATE THIS HAPPENED WHILE STATIONARY AT A GAS STATION. I HAD DRIVEN ABOUT 100 MILES AND STOPPED FOR GAS. ATTEMPTING TO START THE CAR YIELDED CRANKING BUT NO TURNING OVER. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO CONFIRMED THE FAILURE VIA ENGINE COMPRESSION. THE FAILURE COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE ON MY HIGHWAY DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS PUTTING MYSELF AND THE DRIVERS AROUND ME IN DANGER. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT IS TAKING PLACE. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES FOR TENSIONER REPLACEMENT.

HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION FOR YEARS, FROM FAULTY PISTONS AND PISTON RINGS LEADING TO CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. REPEATED CONVERSATIONS WITH MY MECHANIC AND REVIEW OF AUDI BLOGS SHOWS THAT AUDI USA KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO REPAIR IT. WE WERE TOLD THE HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION WAS WITHIN PARAMETERS, BUT NOW THE CAR IS NO FIXABLE FOR A REASONABLE RATE.

TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER FAILURE. CAUSING SIGNIFICANT ENGINE DAMAGE.

TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER FAILED CAUSING CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE AND STALL ON CITY ROAD INTERSECTION FULL OF TRAFFIC.

'TAKATA RECALL' MONDAY MORNING I WENT OUT TO START MY CAR TO BRING MY SON TO SCHOOL AND IT WOULD NOT START. WE DROVE IT THE DAY BEFORE AND NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. WE HAD IT TAKEN BY FLAT BED TO AN AUTO SHOP. THEY SAID THE VALVES ARE BENT ON ONE SIDE OF THE BANKS. THEY SUGGESTED WE REPLACE THE ENGINE BECAUSE IF THEY PULL OFF THE HEAD AND THERE IS PISTON DAMAGE THEN WE WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE ANYWAYS AND GET CHARGED FOR THE DISASSEMBLY WHICH WOULD BE AN EXTRA $1200 ON TOP OF THE CHARGE FOR THE NEW ENGINE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO AND NEED TO PUT IN ALMOST $10,000 TO FIX IT.

ENGINE MISFIRE LIKELY DUE TO TIMING CHAIN JUMP. EXTENSIVE REPAIR TO ENGINE INCLUDING INTAKE VALVES, TIMING CHAIN, TENSIONER, AND SEVERAL RELATED PARTS. AT THE TIME OF THE MALFUNCTION, THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN IN ALBANY, NY, DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE MALFUNCTION COULD HAVE RESULTED IN PERSONAL INJURY TO OCCUPANTS IN THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS TO OTHER VEHICLES. COST OF THE REPAIR WAS $3,194.46, AND RESULTED IN LOSS OF THE VEHICLE FOR 9 DAYS.

CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE CAUSED BY FAILURE OF TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER. NO EARLY WARNING AS VEHICLE WAS SERVICED THE DAY BEFORE BY AUDI DEALERSHIP AND OIL CAPACITY AND PRESSURE WERE WITHIN MANUFACTURER'S TOLERANCE. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT SLOW SPEED WHEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON.

TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER FAILURE. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE TIMING CHAIN TO JUMP, THROWING THE PISTONS OUT OF SYNC, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE VALVES. THIS OCCURRED WHEN FIRST STARTING THE VEHICLE.

HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION FROM FAULTY PISTONS AND PISTON RINGS LEADING TO CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. BROKE EXHAUST VALVE AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHILE ON INTERSTATE. AUDI AWARE OF DEFECTS BUT DENIES RESPONSIBILITY. THEY REFUSED MULTIPLE REASONABLE REQUESTS FOR HELP IN REPAIRS.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. CAR WAS PURCHASED AT TEXAS DIRECT IN STAFFORD, TEXAS. CAR CONSUMES APPROXIMATELY 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 600-800 MILES. AT THIS RATE I AM CONSUMING 15-20 QUARTS BETWEEN REGULAR MANUFACTURERS OIL CHANGE RECOMMENDATIONS. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

I WAS LUCKY THAT MY CAR DID NOT FAIL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY LIKE OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM HAVE. THE TIMING TENSIONER AND CHAIN FAILED, CAUSING A COSTLY REPAIR. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE THREE CLASS-ACTION SUITS AGAINST AUDI-VW REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, YET NO RECALL. WHY? I WANT AUDI TO PAY FOR THIS COSTLY REPAIR AND HAVE A RECALL. I CAN SEND PHOTOS IF NECESSARY. *TR

OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE RESULTING IN CONSTANTLY TOPPING-OFF OIL, PURCHASING OIL BY THE CASES. AUDI OF AMERICA CLEARLY STATES THAT THE AUDI DEALERSHIP IS REQUIRED TO FULFILL THE REPAIR OBLIGATION, SINCE MY VEHICLE IS WITHIN THE 80K MILEAGE/8 YEAR TIME FRAME, AUDI IS LIABLE TO MAKE THE RELATIVE REPAIRS. HOWEVER, THE AUDI OF TYSONS DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE AND REFUSES TO ASSUME THE RESPONSIBILITY OF REPAIRS. THE DEALERSHIP COMPLETED PART ONE OF THE TESTING AND REQUESTED THAT I RETURN ONCE THE OIL LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AFTER RETURNING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE RESISTANCE BEGAN. AFTER PROVIDING CONSISTENT SERVICE RECORDS OF OIL CHANGES THAT EXCLUDE THE "ODOMETER READINGS", THE AUDI DEALERSHIP DID NOT GO TO THE NEXT PHASE OF TESTING/REPAIR. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON THE BELTWAY(RISKY). ASSUMING RESPONSIBILITY OF A REPAIR NOW WOULD DEFINITELY ALLEVIATE A COSTLY PRICE TO PAY SHOULD AN ACCIDENT OCCUR RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE IMMEDIATE RECALL ACTION NOW OR PAY A MAJOR PRICE LATER! NOT THE WAY TO VALUE A CONSUMER AND A POOR WAY OF HANDLING THE MATTER!!!
