What happened with the dealer and your oil consumption? I have an 01 TTQR 225 and I have about 28,000+ miles.

Replying to: audi4me (Dec 14, 2004 5:36 pm) audi4me, Could you elaborate on these problems, not sure if I've heard of these or not.   ywilson1, Just replied to you in the other forum, didn't know you were here too (thread's a little slow so don't check it often), but basically the dealer tells you to live with it. He described the heads on our 1.8T engine as "porous". That's Audi-speak for "your engine burns oil". It burns oil fast so check it often (once a month). It hasn't gotten any worse, but I imagine it will over an extended period of time. I wouldn't follow the 10k oil-change recommendation by Audi. I would do it every 5k with regular oil. The only reason I wouldn't recommend synthetic b/c it would be a waste if it's blowing the oil (and your $$) out it's tailpipes. Besides, synthetic tends to be thinner so it may make the oil-burning worse. Let me know how it goes.   leon
#11 of 24 02 225hp TT coupe by mikeypd Mar 17, 2005 (8:08 am)
I have a 02 225hp TT coupe which i bought at 9k miles a year back. I have been experiencing the same motor oil problems. Every 2000 miles or so, I have to put in a quart of oil into the engine. Does anyone find out why that's the case?   Also, the other day i was driving ... all of a sudden I saw i was driving at 90mph at the speedometer...but i was actually crawling in traffic. The speedometer apparently failed to gauge the actual speed. When the car was stopped...the "hand" of the speedometer was rested at 50mph. Does anyone have expereice the same problem???   Mikey Replies to this message: huachucakid (May 20, 2007 1:32 am)

I recently returned my leased 2002 TT [39 months] I had a few problems...nothing major but they were all covered by warranty and free maintenance - I"M NOT SURE I WOULD BUY A USED ONE WITHOUT PRE-CERTIFIED COVERAGE...though a honey to look at, I believe their are better cars for the money. The ride was so firm that driving around the Northeast gave me a headache. Those low profile tires look cool and turn great but rough on the back. The BMW 330 or the Infiniti G35 are better rides.   The TT seems to tough on tires as well, and it was not good in the snow. I've now moved up to a larger car with front wheel drive and more horsepower...though not as sexy as the TT the ride is better and it's got more juice. Acura TL... lovin' it so far.

Mine 01 TT is doing the exact same thing and has been in the shop for almost 2 months. I can smell burning oil when i am stopped and the A/C is on with the outside ventilation option.   Did they come up with a solution?
