my a5 was drinking 1liter every 250 km b4 it was rebuilt at my cost.
it will happen to your car soon. oil will clog up your spark plugs . start saving for the engine rebuild....
I am not a lawyer but as far as I know, if someone sells you a car with serious problems knowingly, it should be no different to a dealer trying to rip you off with a car that has problems. Dealers are liable, why shouldn't private sellers be?
Think about it, the guy buys a car in good faith and gets a bomb that could cost over 10k to fix. Considering the information he provided here it's pretty clear the seller may already have know of the issues. These problems don't happen overnight, it normally stems from bad care or manufacturing issues. And if the care is indeed in good condition and has been well looked after and maintained then it must be a factory issue.
My friend's Q7 had a similar story and it cost 14k to fix. Audi covered a lot of it and the car wasn't under warranty anymore.
So if the guy did indeed sell the car in bad faith then get a lawyer and make the guy take the car back.
Or make the Audi fix it.
In have to say that I am very disappointed with the Audis. I know of many people having problems with theirs, the dealers keep giving people these stories about why the cars use so much oil and blablabla. I told them once that their cars are like the old 2 stroke Vespa I had, you go to a petrol station to get fuel and the you fill up the oil tank. How is that acceptable?
They claim that the rings and pistons are not as tight to reduce friction and thus increase performance and this increases the oil consumption. While the point is valid, the cars they sell are not race cars and having to fill up the the oil every few thousand KMs is unacceptable. In some cases by the time you have to change the oil, you would have already replaced 80% of it which means that you may not need to replace it after the 15k km mark.
I had a place to buy a Q5 but considering everything I doubt I will.
Sorry about the rant.

Hi Silvergto,
How many kilometers has the car traveled ?
