    Polo GTI High Oil Usage - Discussion Thread

    Was speaking to a mate last night who got one of the first Polo GTI's in the country in early January. He absolutely loves it but the check oil light has come on every 1500 to 2000km so far with it using a bit of oil.

    Is this common place?

    VWA told him it is common for the first year.

    I have no idea. Never owned a NEW car.
