Apologies for revitalising an old post but I am currently in the midst of this issue and trying to get Audi to foot the bill but I am feeling a bit of a fight from Audi. Can you tell me which dealer you managed to get this car repaired? Any advice would help. Thanksthis is rather un-nuanced.
I own an A5 2.0 TFSI MY2010, which developed the well-known oil-consumption.
after more than 10 years and 160.000 km Audi overhauled the engine, completely free of charge, including a courtesye ncar.
the key to this is: you must have a complete and full maintenance history.
and if you want to buy a used car of these years, you can always ask for proof of the engine being overhauled.
Thank you for your response. My car is in my local dealer Audi right now for the oil consumption test which they've asked me to pay for. Tried to resist a little bit but eventually, I agreed to pay the £280 bill for the test. But while they were resisting, they told me that they won't cover the bill because the policy is only for cars that are less than 10 years old. My car is now 10 years and 6 months old. I guess I will have to wait until they fail the test to see what I can do. (It will definitely fail). The reason I asked is because Fred44nl got his done when his car was older than 10 years and I know each dealer is different with this issue.Your local Audi dealership is the best way, travelling hundreds of miles won't make a difference. You need a full audi service history and the initial oils consumption test done, then get the garage to raise the issue up with Audi UK or you go an call them. They may offer a large discount or maybe even foot the whole bill but if you search this forums it's mostly a hit but not always the whole bill.
But just to answer your question I got mine done at Audi Cheshire Oaks.
