Öldurst beim 2,0 TSI: Einfahrproblem? (Solution) | Posts 24+

Have you always driven the same distance with the same driving profile on the glass foot?

The overall driving profile within the intervals in the image was always generally similar (mostly country roads, some highway, estimated about 5% full throttle), but of course, it cannot be identical to what you would find in a measurement laboratory.

Just a reading in the millimeter range on the dipstick is already nonsense, because even a single drop in the tube of the dipstick is enough to ruin the result.

If the engine has been standing for at least 8 hours before the reading, then apparently all the drops from the tube have flowed back into the reservoir. Otherwise, my numerous checks would eventually have shown more than the previous check without needing to be topped up - but that was never the case.

My TFSI, by feel, seems to consume the least amount of fuel in the last third of its range...

I kept it at the maximum level because I thought that it pushes more through the KGE (Kühlergrill).} With mine, it seems to be the opposite. I haven't run it completely empty yet, not even down to the very bottom of the dipstick.

I used to drive the car until the oil light started flashing yellow, and then I would add half a liter of oil.

So, I then managed to travel a good 2000 km. I didn't have enough time for deeper thoughts about it, as it was a comfortably bearable burden .

Meanwhile, the car has sold well, and I informed the buyer about it. I haven't received any complaints from him about it either.

I think the topic is just normal with the ea113, as long as the intervals don't get shorter, just go for it and have fun.

That's about 0.25 liters per 1000 km. This is quite similar to the overall fuel consumption of my CDL.

Inzwischen ist herausgekommen, daß sehr viele TFSI Motoren mit teilweise stark überhöhtem Ölverbrauch kämpfen.{MARKHE}

Just found out the cause: The holes in the oil scraper rings on the pistons are too small, which causes them to carbon up easily.
Sobald dies geschieht, steigt die Verkokung am Kolben nochmals stark an. Im Bericht wurden Ölverbräuche bis zu 3 l auf 1000 km genannt.

In the USA, the engines of affected Audi drivers were repaired by the manufacturer. And here?

Nowadays, they are using three-piece oil scraper rings. In recent production years, there have been few reports of problems, similar to the situation with the timing chains.

In order to prevent the oil consumption from becoming too low, with the model year change, Longlife IV oil with a 0W-20 viscosity, including (again) a significantly reduced HTHS value, was introduced . In order to achieve "up to 4%" fuel savings, everything is being done...

@Roger: Du meinst mit Öl fahren und Benzin kontrollieren?
It feels like I'm driving around with four zeros on the front grill now.

Yes, that's one way to look at it...

Controlling fuel consumption with the four rings can also be a somewhat enjoyable experience. The A4 (8W) comes from the factory with a huge 40-liter tank . Those who didn't select the optional 54-liter tank when buying new will unintentionally have a lot to do with it.

Unfortunately, small fuel tanks are common in many places; this isn't just an Audi-specific problem. However, since the "standard" fuel consumption has also decreased, the range remains the same... or have I misunderstood something?

You need to adjust your driving style to match the NEDC standards, not exceed them!
