Extreme oil consumption (burning 2+ quarts in less than 500 miles); cutting off while idling. Yes it is available for inspection upon request.

I HAVE CODE PO299 TURBOCHARGER/SUPERCHARGER A UNDERBOOST CONDITION. I WAS UNDER WARRANTY IN 2016 TO HAVE MY PISTONS AND RINGS REPLACED BECAUSE THE OIL CONSUMPION WAS VERY HIGH, NOW I'M BURNING MORE OIL AND I CHANGED THE DIVERTER VALVE I'M STILL COMING UP WITH P0299 CODE AND NEED TO REPLACE MY TURBO AFTER 60K MILES FROM THE PISTON AND RINGS REPLACEMENT...I THINK THIS ALL HAS TO BE PART OF THE SAME PROBLEM AND AUDI SHOULD REPAIR IT FOR FREE.
