A5 Redline 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 42,559 miles

This is a 2016 Audi A5 (mileage: 42,000!!!) that is an every day car (less than 30 miles on avg. per day). Took it to Audi for an oil changes and 10 days later it had "Excessive Oil Consumption" and the Engine was destroyed. Just over $11,000 for repairs ($6k engine, $4.5k labor). I don't race, haven't made mods to the car.

So a car with zero previous issues blows the engine due to oil issues right after an oil change! Then when I got the car back they (Audi Service Shop) failed to install the AC correctly and it leaked all the coolant and had to go back in the shop for more repairs (at no cost).

How does this happen? On a luxury sport coupe?
