Consumer Description
SUV burns approximately 1qt oil per every 250-500 miles driven. Oil is accumulating on engine, causing burn and acrid odor. If I do not add a quart every ~2 weeks, engine will overheat. Have replaced the PCV part twice to no avail. Initially, mechanic recommended replacement of piston rings. Audi must recognize problem as they are no longer selling rings; owner must have complete pistons replaced. This is an expensive fix. This complaint appears common across Audi Q5 owners of this model year. Previous model years were recalled for same issues; clearly the issue was not addressed in later model year either.
