Indeed. I had a 2019 2.0L TFSI and Audi replaced the pistons because of its voracious appetite for oil (approx 1 litter every fill up) but they needed pushing in order to do it under warranty.

I now have a 4.0L TFSI. It's running great but this potential issue will have to be addressed. So once again I'm going to have to navigate the defensive Audi system. At the moment they are still at the 'deny there is even an issue' stage. Sigh

They also did the same with the first TT's which were unstable at speed, and they resisted like hell paying to fit the spoilers necessary to rectify the issue.

Funny how car manufacturers are prepared to take the bad publicity rather than own up and correct their mistakes.
