General Comments:
I am not happy with my 2009 A4 - 6 cylinder - and I will probably not buy another Audi. My car went along great for 75000 miles - no problems whatsoever. However, soon after that the car started having various problems that should not happen on a car with less than 100000 miles, and it costs a lot of money to fix. It’s a shame because the car is a good driver; fast, good handling, comfortable & all wheel drive.
Someone told me that it is OK to lease German cars but not buy them. I guess it’s OK to buy them and keep them until they reach 75000 miles, but then you must sell them.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

The high oil consumption is due to the infamous PCV design. The PCV box is easy to replace, but you have to do it quickly. In your case it's now too late and the engine pistons and rings will also need replaced. It was a widespread issue on all 2.0T models after 2009.
