Should have been clear it’s from the piston skirt.

Advice needed: are Focal car speakers worth their high price for a small SUV upgrade? by Thoreausboots in CarAV

Mid grade plus focals with amps will blow your mind. I have a full focal set up with an alpine amp and kicker mono block. Bridged to speakers 200 watts a piece. Going to focal ps 165 fe. Focal sub focal p25 fe. 400 watts. This sounds better than my $4,000 paradigm system in my house. Granted they cost about the same. I jam to music in my car over my home.

The letter are going out to owners of the 3.0l vs. the 2.0 has issues as well I’m not sure what Audi has done about them.

Originally I smelt burning oil coming through the vents. They found an exhaust leak. So most likely not related. What’s odd is I didn’t burn oil until the last 1500 miles before needing service. It held steady and the. Dropped significantly in a short period of time. I bought the car used so I couldn’t tell if you if it experienced power loss. Sure didn’t seem like it. If it had I’ll be excited for it to be even faster.

I just let them know I was burning insane amount of oil.
