Do all 2.0 litre engines have oil consumption problems?

Good lord that’s a lot of miles! Gives us some hope!

A true word of advice and I know it's gonna sound too simple. Check the exhaust pipes the dirtier they are the more consumption. Take a close look and to make sure they haven't been scrubbed. It's still difficult to completely scrub the build up off. Another tell tale sign even better is after you've test driven it, park with the engine still running open the door and give it some serious revs. Wait about 30 seconds to a minute between throttling. This has to be done in the proper wind and sunlight conditions. Bring a friend and have him/her watch the exhaust or you watch as he/she does the throttling. You will be able to black exhaust exiting the tailpipes literally. Even a little is bad. Keep trying the method and you'll get an idea HOW bad. And screw whatever salesperson gives you an attitude during this. Also, if you have access to a hand scanner bring it with you and use it. It'll be worth it totally. Some hand scanners take a bit of time and you might have to go through each control module to get any codes that might be stored. And do this after the drive because they can be erased daily by the dealer. Don't bring this up until the end of the test drive. Even better to have a girlfriend keep it in her purse. Act like you know what you're doing, learn how to use the scanner. You can buy one for less than 200 bucks from companies like ecstuning. Take any codes and go back home and Google them n come here with them. This will give you buying leverage and you'll get an idea of what you're getting into. If the salesman/seller objects move on. Their a ton of these cars being sold. Take your time! How do I know, cuz I've been through all this before. The method works. If you find a decent one chances are there's gonna be some work needed regardless. This'll help narrow things down!

When I bought my 07 A4 it was burning 1 quart every 1000 miles.
since I change the PCV unit I get about half a quart every oil change

I have a 2009 Audi A4 quattro 2.0t engine and I read in the manual that for every 600 miles it can consume 1/2 a quart of oil, depending on how you drive.

My 2012 a4 fwd has no oil consumption issues at all. However...my motor was replaced by audi at 19,000 miles because of a damaged piston. Im at 70k miles now. 50k on motor. I agree...hit or miss.

2006 a4 with 156k miles. Zero oil consumption. Stage 2+

2015 A3 2.0T (8V)

Got it with 70k miles. Almost at 73k now. Been checking oil at every other gas fill. So far the dip stick reads full every time.

Our 2014 VW Passat 1.8 TSI, uses 1 qt about every 3k miles I think.

Like someone else said. It’s hit or miss I think.
