99, doesn’t seem to high if it’s taken care of. I was at Hardees last week and I a guy from Maryland had a 2010 Q5 with 210,000. He said he has no problems and changes his oil every 10,000.

2010 is a 3.2. 2011 or 2012 can be 2.0t or 3.2
Have seen more high mileage 3.2’s. My 2011 2.0t sold at 93K is still going at 107K

You are Correct! I now remember him saying it was the first of the 3.2 engines. He also said he only uses synthetic oil.

2012 with 2.0T is currently at 195,600 km (122,250 miles). Engine rebuilt at 118,000 km (73,750 miles) due to high oil consumption - Audi Canada picked up 70% of the tab. Still not burning any oil using full synthetic oil changes (LiquiMoly Leichtlauf 5W40) every 7,500 km (vs the 15,000 Audi recommends) since the rebuild.

Need to cross the 150k miles mark to be in rarified air.

What is considered high oil consumption, to have a full engine rebuild? I’ve heard they all have high oil. Consumption.

I know they (Audi) like some others, consider 1qt. every 1k miles to be normal, or somewhere in that range.

They don't all have it but the 2.0T's are particularly prone to do so. Much discussion centers around the type of oil and frequency (hint: it isn't what Audi recommends). My advice is to not buy a 2.0T unless it's from someone you trust when they tell you it doesn't consume oil.
