Unusual engine oil consumption

Unusual engine oil consumption
I got my 2.0 TFSI Q5 in February 2010. Every 1500km I was asked to add 1lt of oil. At 16.000km I asked from Audi Greece to change my engine with a new one. With a bit of legal pressure they agreed and I got my Q5 back with a new engine. My problem is that again I was asked to add a litter of oil after 1800 and 1500km!!! Now I have 20400km and soon I will have to do it again. What is wrong? Could it be they did not change the engine with a new one? Is it not an engine problem? Any ideas?

It's common for a new engine to consume oil until the (nikosil?) cylinder walls and rings seat. With the RS4, it takes roughly 7500 miles. Until then, many or most reported 1qt every 1000 miles (or so). Once broken in, nobody complains anymore.
