TFSI oil consumption fault - affected models?

[ALT F4]

Is there a list of affected models and years?

I've been asked by a work colleague about a 2005 and 2006 Audi A4 2.0 TFSI .... reading the internet it seems a little confusing as to which models/years are affected by the piston rings and the excessive oil consumption.
I'm sure the PH massive are clued up on this so if anyone can fill in the blanks below it would give me a much clearer picture.....

(1) Models affected are =
- A3? A4? A5?
(2) Years affected are =
- 2006 to 2014?
(3) Engines affected are =
- 1.8 turbo? 2.0 turbo? 3.2 N/A?


Cheers.

Was the problem confined to the 2.0 TFSI engines or was the 3.2 FSI engine also affected?

I guess the important question so I can answer back is - on model years PRIOR to 2008, the oil consumption was NOT a known problem affecting engines of those years?

Reading around I can pick up one or two statements that seem to say only 2008-2012 model years were affected. Would any of you guys know if this can be taken as 'fact'?

Anybody know?

Just trying to get a definitive list of models and years affected.


So far years affected seem to be 2008 to 2012 <-stand to be corrected.
So far engines affected seem to be 1.8 & 2.0 TFSI <- stand to be corrected. (3.2 FSI non-turbo affected yes/no?)

The 3 litre supercharged engine found in S4's and some S5's is also effected as well as the older 3.2 non turbo.

Thanks for that Guv.

Would you also happen to know the affected years?
Is the problem confined to the B8 cam-chain engines? Or are you aware of the problem affecting the B7 cam-belt engines?

2010 A3 1.4 TFSI, on 75k miles now, uses 1/2 litre every 5k miles.

Anyone know when you should or need to change the timing chain on these?

Should say in your car manual but I think the chain is a long life element, as in it may not need changing, just maintaining.
