What owners wrote
There is a foul odor from the heat/ac vents after only 4 months of use. The car is clean from head to toe so I couldn't figure out what could have caused the smell. I took it in to be serviced and they preformed a TSB to remove the odor. It then smelled like a musky lemon. A month later the foul odor is back, not sure what is causing it but not very pleased with the brand new funk aroma. I'm going to have to take it back in again.
Audi knows about this oil consumption issue my car is one of the thousands of affected one it's require more oil just after 300 miles and audi won't fix it asking for 6k to 7k to fix the engine I barely have 110k miles on the car. Audi need to recall their and fix it for free
