oil consumption 95 90q -- progress




Thanks everybody for your responses to my oil consumption questions. 
 Definitely something screwed up, like a dead cylinder.  Compression test 
showed that one of the six was at about 100 psi and the rest were about 
150. Plug in the low cylinder looked good, didn't get a straight answer as 
to what was wrong.  Beats me, I'm a lousy mechanic and have been following 
from afar. Fortunately the car is still under factory warrany, so once the 
paperwork is transferred, off it goes.

So, with any luck whatsoever, the car will soon have a zero mile engine, or 
at least a rebuilt one.  Anybody had to have an Audi engine replaced by a 
dealer before?  Or do you think they'll try to bandage the cylinder back to 
life?  Any experiences with similar situations would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help--
