Hi Everyone,

I have one of the 118Kw twin charged motor/7speed dog gearbox combos in the golf I have owned since new.

The car has just done 26,000 klms in 2.5 years and 3 months, back the oil warning light came on so I checked the oil and ended up putting in a litre. A few weeks later same thing and another 500ml. Then had my 30,000klm service earlywhere the engine oil was replaced. 2 weeks back I had to put in another 500ml.

The upshot is the engine appears to have consumed 2L of oil in less than 2,000klm.

I questioned this with VW who grandly proclaimed that " The VW group allow for 500ml of oil to be consumed every 1,000klm". Am curious to know if this more whitewashing from VW.

Has anyone had a similar issue?


Before the trolls come out - No, I do not trash the car whilst driving!
