My 2014 Audi A4 with the EA888 Gen 2 engine had over 209,000 miles and had noticeable oil consumption.
Before selling the car, I decided to try one of the most commonly recommended fixes: a Berryman B-12 piston soak.
In this video I explain:
Why these engines can burn oil
How a piston soak is supposed to work
The complete procedure
The first startup afterward
My initial observations
Important: I sold the car only a few days after performing this repair, so I can't honestly report results in the long run. However, during the short time I drove it afterward, I saw no obvious signs of continued oil consumption or blue smoke. Whether that would have continued, I simply don't know.
Hopefully this video helps anyone considering the procedure on their own vehicle.
