Do Audi Cars Burn Engine Oil?

Audi indeed has some models that experience engine oil burning. Here is an introduction to engine oil-related issues: Increased fuel consumption: When adding engine oil, the oil level should be between the upper and lower limits on the dipstick. If too much oil is added, the engine's temperature will rise, causing the oil to expand in volume. This increases the pressure in the oil chamber, raises operational resistance, reduces the car's power output, and leads to higher fuel consumption. Overfilling oil: Excessive oil can cause the crankshaft vent pipe to leak oil, increasing pressure in the crankshaft case. This pressure can loosen the oil seals, leading to oil leaks. Heat dissipation: Overfilling oil can also affect the engine's heat dissipation.

I've been driving Audis for over a decade, and this issue is indeed quite common in some models, especially older turbocharged engines. The main reasons are certain design flaws in the engine, such as faster wear of piston rings or poor sealing of the turbocharger, which leads to oil seeping into the combustion chamber and increased consumption. I've seen many owners report blue smoke from the exhaust and rapid oil level drops. Personally, I've developed the habit of checking the dipstick every time I refuel. If I notice the level dropping too quickly, I top it up with higher viscosity synthetic oil as a temporary fix. If it gets serious, it's best to take it to a professional shop for repairs before engine damage occurs. Actually, modern Audi models have improved significantly with much fewer oil consumption issues, but it's wise to carefully check the service history when buying used.

How to steer when the right side is too wide?

When reversing, turning the steering wheel to the left will make the rear of the car move to the left; turning the steering wheel to the right will make the rear of the car move to the right. When reversing, look in the rearview mirror. If you feel the distance is wider on one side, turn the steering wheel toward that side.

What is the passing score for Subject 2?

Subject 2 has a full score of 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. The following regulations apply for passing the exam: ① For applicants applying for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, or large trucks, a score of 90 is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 is required. The C1 and C2 vehicle test items include five mandatory tests: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope (canceled for C2), turning at a right angle, and driving on a curve (commonly known as the S-curve). Some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed card collection. The A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2 vehicle test items include: stake test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, passing a single-plank bridge, driving on a curve, turning at a right angle, passing a width-restricted gate, passing continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, making a U-turn on a narrow road, and simulations of highways, continuous sharp curves on mountain roads, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. If you fail the Subject 2 exam on the first attempt, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the exam is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the exam after ten days. During the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled attempts for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skill tests must not exceed five. If the fifth scheduled exam is still failed, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated.

How to adjust the steering when the right side is too wide during right reverse parking?

Use the distance between the car body and the sideline as the correction standard. If the rear of the car is too close to the right sideline of the parking space, turn the steering wheel to the left to adjust. On the contrary, if it is too close to the left sideline of the parking space, turn the steering wheel to the right to adjust. Keep the car body parallel to the sideline of the parking space, and stop when the front line of the parking space appears at the position of the left rearview mirror.

How to Steer the Wheel for Right-Side Parking?

When the right starting sensor line appears and aligns with the lower edge of the left rearview mirror, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Observe the right rearview mirror. When the far right line becomes visible and the distance between the car body and the parking corner is less than 30CM, turn the wheel back halfway. When the parking corner disappears below the lower edge of the right rearview mirror, continue to turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Observe the right rearview mirror. When the parking line is parallel to the car body, quickly straighten the steering wheel and continuously adjust the car body.
