Do you do your own oil changes? The crush washer used on the drain plug should be replaced with every oil change if you drain the oil using the drain plug. Otherwise it could cause a slow leak resulting in having to constantly top it off. If you use an oil extractor you'll never have to remove the drain plug.

You are experiencing the common oil problem caused by defective piston/rings . The only correction is to replace the pistons and rings.

So how many KM you'll complete in 10-15 Days? I have Audi a4 b8 2008 and usually it consume around 1L for every 1000-1200 KM(still it is not normal )

If you're beyond the oil consumption extended warranty, it's probably best to move on to a new car and dump this one on an unsuspecting rube.
