HI fellow, Hope threadstarter dont mind me hijacking this thread.
I do experience this problem of 1L being consumed every 2000KM.
Wonder if anyone experience this as well?
Because apparently my dealer said it "Normal"

I think that is deemed as acceptable... Not sure. I never really had the oil consumption test - gave up on it and actually trying to get them to acknowledge it.
I get my car serviced every 7500kms, but not from the dealer anymore. Keep a 1L bottle of oil in the boot (fits in little side pocket perfectly) and I easily go though that every few thousand kms. Joys of VW :-) but yes I will buy VW again maybe, but it will be an R.
I still love my car and wash is every weekend and get a smile on my face when taking off from the lights :D
Oh and the recall on the DSG seems to have made it shudder worse! - clutch packs replace twice prior.. And water pump twice as well hahaha joys of new car ownership!
Cool man. Keep us updated. Gives me a bit more hope as my car is going in for an oil consumption reading this Monday.Quote:

My r is nearly at 100,000kms and hardly drops below the max line in 10,000kms.
Get an r. The extra fuel is balanced out by less oil.
Another update. Have now driven over 4000km since the piston replacement, the dip stick level still hasn't moved yet. Good news.Quote:
