According to Audi , my 2000 A4 needs a new engine two weeks after huge snow storms were the root cause of the chains used as such, cutting through my brake lines, thus, requiring the latter be reinstalled. Suddenly, the low oil indicator starts flashing...So, I put in oil; 1 quart and it still flashes, a 2nd quarter...and suddenly it starts making noises, and stops shifting smoothly into gear. So, I take her into University Audi, Seattle, WA and what I think is an oil too low or a leak, is actually a blown 4th cylinder spark plug, which apparently in mechanic speak means I need a new engine. Can someone either with the same experience tell me if that is a true diagnosis...? Audi quoted me $7900 to fix it, and the KBB value is less than $3000. Is there anything that can be done to save her, less replacing the engine...spark plug to me <> engine. Help! Thanks!!!

Hi, first i would check the fluid level if it is not a sealed trans. if the fluid level is ok, it may be that the TCM(transmission Control module is malfunctioning. this module controls the actual shift points. the TCM sends the shift signal to the shift solenoids that are located inside the transmission pan. these shift solenoids preform the engagements of the gears on command, which is initiated by this module i speak of. this module may be damaged,in return, causing this confusion in the shifting patterns you are experiencing.

I hope that you had the proper weight oil installed, at your oil change. If your oil is up to the proper level, and it's rattling ,this is VERY bad. White smoke usually means steam in the exhaust, and that means a blown head gasket. Check your coolant level. I wouldn't drive it anymore......until someone knowledgeable can diagnose it!!!!!

Audi cars do not use much oil as far as I know.A new engine which is not warned together can take some oil of course.Make sure that you use the proper oil type specified by the manufacturer.Try to change the oil and filter completely,then measure the oil consumption.Should not be more then 1 liter on 10000kms.

How many miles/km's you drive in those 3 month's ? oil consumption is normal ! Check when you first start the engine in the morning wetter or not you see a puff of blue smoke, if you see smoke , your valve seals are leaking.
1 liter oil each 2000km is normal.

Did you try replacing the plug? Or do they mean "blown" as in broken off in the head. I need more information and I may be able to help you. If you reply with an email address listed, I can buzz you that way too and we can figure it out.
