On May 29, a California federal judge granted final approval to a class action lawsuit settlement with Volkswagen and Audi over claims they sold nearly 126,000 vehicles that consumed excess engine oil.
If you purchased or leased a 2009-2011 model year Audi 4, Audi A5 or Audi Q5 vehicle, you may be included in the class action settlement and be eligible to claim a number of benefits, including free repairs, an extended warranty and reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses.
The Audi oil consumption settlement resolves a 2012 class action lawsuit (Asghari v. Volkswagen Group of America Inc.) that claimed certain 2009-2011 Audi vehicles contained engine defects “that cause them to burn off and/or consume abnormally high amounts of oil.”
The Audi engine class action lawsuit was transferred to federal court in Central California at the request of Audi and Volkswagen and later combined with other similar class action lawsuits, adding additional lead plaintiffs.
Some of the allegations were dismissed in a November 2013 decision.
Audi and Volkswagen deny the allegations and any wrongdoing but agreed to a class action settlement in September 2014 to resolve the litigation.
U.S. District Judge Margaret M. Morrow preliminarily approved the deal on Oct. 16, 2014 and later granted final approval on May 29, 2015.
Who’s Eligible
The Audi oil consumption settlement covers all purchasers and lessees, in the United States and Puerto Rico, of the following vehicles originally equipped with a factory-installed 2.0 liter TFSI longitudinal engine bearing Audi internal engine code CAEB (“CAEB engine”):
- 2009 model year Audi A4
- 2010 model year Audi A4 or A5
- 2011 model year Audi A4, A5 or Q5
If you are still not sure if you are included, you can call 1-866-591-7231 for more information.

To receive a cash reimbursement, you must submit a valid Claim Form and supporting documents by June 27, 2015.

101 thoughts onAudi Oil Consumption Class Action Lawsuit Settlement
I I have an Audi Q7 2015. I’m putting oil in there 2 quarts every other week. I just put 5 quarts in there Thursday and had an oil change last month. It is burning too much oil.
We have been experiencing excessive oil consumption for over 10,000 miles. It was a change that came on suddenly. I’ve spent around $10,000 on inspections and repairs. The only response I ever get from the Audi dealership service center is “if it’s not requiring oil less than every 1000 miles, it’s ‘within spec'”. Total BS. I have now had two occasions where me or my family was nearly stranded in a remote area during the winter with sub-freezing temps.
we need help with a 2015 audi q7 oil consumption claim
I bought a 2011 audi a5 I’m Oct of 22 it has 77000 on it and I’m putting in a quart of oil in every 400 miles if I’d have known that I would be putting in oil that often I would never have bought it.i think that dealers should not be selling these vehicles. Is there a way to have this fixed at no cost to me?
I have a 2016 that is consuming oil rather quickly. The action should include 2016 Q5 as well.
2010 Audi A4 – burns oil and light goes on to add about every other week. Less than 80,000 miles
Audie of Burlington, Ma has had my car off and on for over 3 months now. I bought it used with 73,000 miles 2022, it started having trouble 2 months after purchase. Its been in and out 3 months and longer . they have it now June 2023. They say it needs a new engine and they don’t cover that. Can anyone help. I don’t think they should be selling Audi from that time because of this problem. Or check for that problem before they sell it to some one.
