He was talking about a bummer...having owned a few of them (all old and prone
to oil burning...ask any 2002 fan about "green blocks" and "valve
guides"...or just follow one) I will concurr that it is "normal"...though
they got a little better with the newer ones. OTOH...NONE of the 6 Audis I
have owned over the past 10 years use much, if any oil...has to do with
design and engineering I think ;-)
