Low oil pressure light came on and engine sounded rattly. After a few minutes Check Engine light also on. The problem happened in early evening so I let the car sit overnight. I started the car the next morning and there was no low oil pressure warning but the engine still sounded rattly and the check engine light was still on. I called for a flatbed to get it to my mechanic but due to a snowstorm the truck took 4 hours to arrive and when I started the car to move it out of my driveway the problem was gone, no engine rattle. I still had it taken to the garage but aside from resetting the CEL they could not find any problem. It had been quite cold (-20C) so they think that had something to do with it. I always run synthetic oil so it shouldn't have been an oil flow problem. They don't think it was actually low oil pressure as the CEL was unrelated but the engine noise to me seemed to point to it. |

This trip was the second oil consumption test since owning this CPO car. The first was shortly after we bought it, when it consumed 1 qt of oil every 1400 mi. Audi installed new piston rings under warranty. $2000 otherwise. The oil consumption, as on many A4s, had been high. First test, performed in '09, car passed. Second test, January, 2013, car failed.
