Yes, the 1.8 turbo was known for being unreliable. The non-turbo version, and the 2-liter however were good engines. And some of the diesels were incredible. Most notably the pre-PD 1.9 TDI's. The 110 HP model is quite possibly the strongest engine that VW ever made. It was derived from the equally strong Audi 2.5 TDI 5 cylinder 140 HP model. However, there were some bad diesels too, like the 1.9 TDI AJM (only in the Mid-1999 to 2000 models) which became notorious for warping its cylinder head. I had a 2000 Passat with this engine, and it guzzled water like a marathon runner. Changing gaskets obviously didn't work. It held for around 1500 to 2000 km before blowing out. I eventually swapped it for a newer AVF engine (which is the best PD engine made). Another bad engine was the early 2.5 V6 TDI. This engine chewed up camshafts, and they had to be replaced every 100,000 to 150,000 km (60,000-92,000 miles), Combine that with the automatic DSG transmission, and you had a recipe for wasting money.

This why I'd look up forums before in buying a specific car, looking at what common problem there is.

My nephew's 540 started eating oil at about 65k miles. He always added a quart once a month and it was fine, but seriously disappointing. Then he got covid and lost his sense of smell and never smelled the burning and by the time his dad drove the car and smelled the burn, the damage was done.

My 2014 Audi A4 2.0 TSFI engine started burning oil early. I brought it to the dealership’s attention, but the service technician said it was normal for this engine. They would never list the problem on the maintenance reports. It started getting really bad at 85,000 miles. I’m now at 130,000 miles and I’m added a quart of oil every 560 miles which for me is every 10 days. My coworker has exactly the same model year and is also experiencing the same issue. These engines are still burning oil. Audi is closing their eyes on this issue. If this is normal, they should tell everyone upfront. They don’t because no one would buy a car knowing it may possibly consume this much oil.

I think my brother's is the same model, and at 80K km it uses a lot of oil. I would try a thicker oil first, and if that doesn't work add some Lucas additive. I don't like adding thickener because pistons and rings could wear faster due to less oil splash, so I would try maybe 1/3 or 1/2 a bottle, ie, just enough to make the 1L per 1000K.

The info on the oil change was really incredibly helpful.

I didn’t buy what they said. Well, added oil. Maybe had oil change, can’t exactly remember but same thing again next 5 or 6 thousand. That’s the top reason I got rid of it and now have a 2019 Toyota RAV4. They also claimed after the exit of the diesels they made a change that caused them to use more oil. Forget it!

Great information even I already know some of it. It's a great education for young buyers. Another way of avoiding the unnecessary add on like 18" alloy wheels when you already have 17" come with the car.They usually would charge you $2500 for the 18" option and now you loose your 17"pkg that suppose to come with the vehicle. Take your 17" and buy your 18" wheels somewhere else and now you can use your 17" wheels for winter. Most of the pkg 18" wheels and tire usually cost $1700-$2000, but when you paying out side the dealership, you actually will own 2 sets of wheels for for the same price you would have paid!

Don't forget the Honda V6 engines from 2008-2011 burning oil, with a class action lawsuit against Honda!

Very informative.

The thing I see with most of the troublesome engines is cylinder wall type and finish and the piston ring thickness. The spray on bore liners are the worst. If the OEM got it wrong, oil consumption was crazy. Then the thin piston rings. Toyota and others were notorious about their genius move to these things which then led to lawsuits galor. Go back to iron liners and properly sized rings and the madness stops. The only other thing that caused big oil consumption was the routing of the PCV system in some engines like the Ford Ecoboost and others

You make awesome and very informative videos, it is greatly appreciated and wanted to make sure you know you are appreciated.!

Sadly, it appears that about all of the newer, high-performance, tiny turbo engines are all oil burners. My older VW Rabbit (Golf in Europe) Mark 5 (2006-09) is the second gen within the Gen 5 ("Mark V") which includes the 2008 and 2009 years. It has the bumped up 170 hp 2.5 NON-turbo engine. With over 154K miles on the odometer, it burns NO oil at all between my chosen oil change intervals of 5K miles (recommended intervals are 10K miles). The oil leaks that come with age such as valve cover gasket, various sensors and seals, are all easily replaced. Unfortunately, VW/Audi/Porsche is willing to risk its reputation as a quality car by continually "improving" them until they barely last 100K miles. I'll keep my older car that runs perfectly while I treat it like a rented mule and only have to do basic services. I expect to get at least 300K miles out of my car. I do 90% of my own services and leave the other 10% to my trusted independent mechanic who does NOT work for a German dealership.

Over here in the U.K. I have had Fords GM, Renault, Rover and Citroen’s over the years. Always serviced by myself, never went beyond 10,000 miles between services even doing mostly highway driving Best results were from Citroen C5 using the PSA 2 litre 4 cyl diesel. I put over 250,000 on a series 1 model and now am in 159,000 miles with the series 2 model. I have never had to top up between services in both of these cars, I use a fully synthetic oil. It’s got to the point that I rarely ever check the oil level between services. Everybody raves about BMW/Audi here in Europe as well, PSA don’t get a look in, but they have their engines sorted out good, that’s all I can say.

I found many oil consumption problems were due to checking oil at a gas island. Up hill, down hill, tipped to the right, oe tipped to the left. Always check BEFORE starting at home, same spot with the oil drained to the crankcase. To get an accurate reading you need everything consistent. The other thing is, hash marks between max and min is fine. Over filling to get a head start on oil consumption just makes it worse.

The only car I've ever owned where this was an obvious issue is the 3.6 liter VR6 engine in my 2018 VW Passat GT. The position of that dip stick at the front of the oil pan makes it very susceptible to significant differences in measured oil level on even slight grades.

I seem to get the hint that anything by BMW that is labeled -50 is shite and you should not just walk away but run. I had a ton of oil consumption on my 02 S430 but that was diagnosed as a rear main seal leak. It would have cost more than the car was worth to fix so I bought my XTS to replace that lovely car. All that said I would love to hear you roast the XTS VSport so that I can know what I have to look forward to as I run out of warranty.

He states 2010-2015... These came with a variety of engines including 6-cylinder options. (The 7-series is also talked about referring to the previous-gen while showing a newer model.)

Oil burning Audi engines is easy to fix. We simply bore the cylinders, then install better quality pistons, rings, bearings, & conrod/pin assemblies. The rings used are most often chrome-moly.

Yeah because removing an engine from an Audi is easy, the cost of doing what you mentioned would ultimately cost more than the car.

@@johnl3230 not really. It depends on where you source the parts for the engine. I have a really good supplier here in Australia. They are based in Sydney. I buy parts for my car from them.

@@rob5944 the cost is high, due to the work involved. First the engine needs to be taken out of the car. It is then drained, dismantled and the cylinders bored to take the sleeves and piston assemblies. The engine is then put back together with the new parts, along with machined crank. It is then put back in the car

@@christophermarshall5765 as I thought, surely your average person isn't going to get involved with that though? With respect, I wouldn't call that an easy or simple fix. I intend to stick with Japanese cars. For instance my wife's Peugeot 108 (really a Toyota Aygo) is a 1.0 triple atmo, it never needs looking at between services. I've a 4.3 V8 Lexus since January and so far not a drop either, that's a sixteen year old car btw.

I got 03 190k 1.8 t oil isnt problem for me

When the mini's oil light comes on it means you have no oil left they are also prone to sensor failures and head gasket failures yes fun car to drive but a not so fun car when it comes to repair costs

I agree and the gearboxes are rubbish in anything buy a manual

Modern cars that use a lot of oil do more damage that most people don't know about. Clogged catalytic converters, failed oxygen sensors, fouled spark plugs, and check engine lights.

Bought a 2018 VW GTI Se DSG new. Currently have 96k miles. Flawless. Doesn't use any oil. Oil change intervals 7500miles. Had Japanese, American, German cars. All used oil. But the 2.0L gen 3 turbo in the GTI best car I ever owned.

It’s time for an updated presentation on the newer Audi!

I drive a 2013 TL 3.7L SHawd. I only have 85k and love the car. Yes.. it burns oil but the costs to change or top up frequently isn't outrageous to me. The car is bullet proof, never breaks down and is a blast to drive with my upgrade mods. You may regret trading this car for an Audi!

Your videos are having an impact lol first thing I’m doing right now is sitting in my car waiting for this bullshit electronic measurement BMW feature so I can check my oil. OK seriously wear is the damn dip stick! This is one of the top 10 things I probably hate the most! have a question though, would it be a good idea to remove the engine cover I’ve heard that this will let a lot of the heat dissipate. I’ve been concerned about it for a long time but always left it on but even now just letting the engine idle for a few minutes waiting for the measurement to be ready it’s unbelievably hot underneath the cover. What do you think, good idea or not?

I know right what was wrong with the dipstick!!?? Can't see how the oil is holding up now. I have a 1 series with the B58 engine it has that insulated cover on the engine it's really just for sound absorption and might keep a little heat in for quicker warm up which is good. I left mine on just to keep the dust off.

Reading the message from Stephen D,my brother bought a new Passat diesel in 1998 and 10 years later having driven 340.000 km...still no oil consumption... I see more of total different experiences....how come...mistery

I took the time to view completely the video and read all comments there is an important procedure that is completely overlooked: the initial break in period most manufacturersdoes not even specify clearly ( this is not sexy !!!!) it and it is a very important period in the life of an engine this is the period where the engine components finish their mating and make their seating. Many of the problematic engines specified here are badly seated engines. today's engines produces astronomic power for their size so the peak pressure in the cylinders is much higher so the contact of the rings with the cylinder bore is much higher when the engine develops its design power, the initial tension is not the predominant factor in these conditions. there is other players but this one can skim a good share of the oil consumption problems noted here.

The Acura one shocked me. Acuras are great cars but aint no lexus in terms of reliability. Had Rl older model and it was a nightmare. Actually my e39 was more reliable than that piece of junk. It wasn't stable on the highway too. It never burned oil and in my humble opinion, those vtech engines are one of the best
