    Anyone familiar with Audi Tucson mechanics, are they up to a piston and ring replacem

    I am getting ready to have Audi Tucson install new pistons and rings to fix oil consumption issues on my B8 A4 Avant. Anyone BTDT with Audi Tucson, are they up to the work?

    Some background: I bought the car last March with 81k miles, and had the car Stage 1 tested shortly after. It failed the consumption tests proving that it needs new pistons and rings, but because the service records are not perfect, AoA is not going to cover 100% of the cost (AoA is kicking in for half of the repair bill). I'm still talking to AoA about the cost, but that's another story.

    Here is the lovely Ibis White Avant in question:

    You'll be alright, if that doesn't fix the issue new engine. But it'll be alright, they will take about a week. Do something about the PCV while you're at it.
    Usually install a CTS catch can or something for those who come in.

    I believe the PCV was already replaced during Stage 1. Never thought I'd need a catch can for a stock turbo car .

    Do it all the time & usually collect a lot. One B8 was just bad always had something in it.
