Seeing the dreaded ‘Add 1 qt of oil’ on your Audi dashboard? We can help. The 2-liter, 4 cylinder turbocharged Audi engine (factory designation EA888) used in many cars such as Q3, Q5, A3, A4, A5, A6 suffers from a known design issue with the piston rings. The only possible solution is to replace the pistons or the piston rings. The silver lining to this complex job is that a lot of other work gets done, including timing chain, guides, and tensioners, head gasket and bolts, rear main seal, and even the water pump. Once this job is complete, the oil consumption issues go away immediately. The updated piston rings are not built with the experimental material, and won’t need to be replaced again.

I wouldn't say "only". That is the professional way no doubt. Some have poured concentrated solvent into the pistons and that slowly ate away at the carbon.
Fair enough. However, unless the root cause is fixed (bad piston rings), the carbon will accumulate again, turning into a vicious cycle.
@@carhavneurotech You used original parts, it will happen again
Lol "check your piston rings" as if checking your rings are as easy as checking your air filter.. I guess when you go german, checking piston rings is a regularly scheduled maintenance item? 😂
Never intended to say a driver can do this. However, a trained specialist with the right equipment can check the rings in 20 min.
$4000,- ?
😢 easily!!
in retrospective, doing the oil change way more frequently is way cheaper
More or less. Our customers typically spend a bit more, but get a lot of work done as we make the best of the labor and replace also head gasket, valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, camshaft bridge, even water pump and thermostat. It's not cheap but it's a new lease on life for the engine. We have customers regularly adding 100K miles after this service, we've been doing it for years so we see the long term results. Cheaper than getting a new car!
You'd think, but at $10-12 a quart for good fully synthetic oil every 500 miles it adds up. The real problem though is that if not fixed, oil in the rings will turn into carbon, and that will either 1. score the cylinder walls internally leading to loss of compression or 2. cause the valves to burn and lose chunks into the engine. Both issues will cause total engine failure.
Every Vw product is burning oil.
Respectfully disagree! Excessive oil consumption is an issue that needs to be properly diagnosed and corrected.
@@carhavneurotech Obviously you disagree because you survive off of fixing these crappers
@@carhavneurotech By this point the cost of parts and labor is more then that shit box
