2.8 12v oil consumption-burning oil

[Hoffman Anthony J A1C 552 CMS/MXMVC]

I worked at an Audi dealership in Bozeman, MT for about 3 years, and a 1994
100 CSQ had about 310k on it, and used a quart every 2500 or so. I'd say
check your PCV system, to make sure it isn't allowing pressure build up, and
other than that, don't know.

Hey q-listers, help me save my audi faith before I start looking at volvo's!

I have had (2) different 2.8  12v's in my possession over the past year '94 
(150k miles) & '95 (125k miles).  Both of them have shown excessive oil 
consumption, burning it and blowing it out the exhaust.  What's the deal, I
take it 
I'm not alone here?  Diagnosis and estimated repair procedure/costs to
resolve 
this?

I have owned numerous 4cyl & 5cyl Audi's with high mileage and have always 
thought the engines were bulletproof based on my experiences with these
cars.  
Never seen these sort of problems.  I guess I shouldn't have assumed this 
quality would transfer to the V6....  I'm reluctant to buy another one....
Perhaps 
a volvo wagon for the wife instead????

'95 A6 wagon (going back to dealer w/numerous problems)
