Got the definative Audi policy on oil consumption.(INTERESTING, but not surprising)

[Layaway]

I have a B7 S4 v8. It goes through oil like crazy. I had the oil consumption test done my car failed going through a around 1,200 mi. They replaced headers and all seals and stems. now it burns through 2 quarts in 500 mi. My car is at the dealer and the mechanics are super knowledgable and helpful. But right now we are all stumped. We are waitng on audi to give another solution to remedy the problem. I am bummed I love that car . I have been looking for other people with the same problem as me. To see if their experience could shed some light on my issue. If you would like I can update on what happens. I hope my experience can help others.

I'm certain the "customer advocates" at Audi of America were simply cutting and pasting sections from their standard replies textbook. I doubt they even know what oil consumption is. I have dealt with them numerous times. Aside from telling me how important and valuable I am as a customer have had very little success.
My '00 C5 A6 and '04 B6 S4 never need topping up between changes @ 4-5k miles.
Admitted this is a bit overkill running Mobil 1 0W-40 VW spec oil. But the A6 has 110K on the odometer and the engine runs like the day it was delivered.

Cylinders where over bored in production. Had a new short block put in... almost zero consumption now. Even after two track days and seven thousand km.

I was all excited about my 2009 A4 prestige. Loved the look. Almost immediately I noticed that it went through some oil. I had traded in my BMW 328 for the A4 so comparing oil consumption was pretty easy. I put 30-35K miles a year so I expect some oil consumption but at 80,000 I was putting a quart in for every ~860 miles. They did some "fix" that I paid $700 for that didnt work. I had purchased the extended warranty that didnt do jack-sh&*t. When they told me that I had to pay around $5400 to replace the rings I filled the thing up with oil, visited the neighborhood BMW and traded the frickn thing in for a new 328. Having to travel with a case of oil in the trunk is no way to travel.
