CTHE will end with P or PX...

Ax should still be CAVE, but I'm not sure...
CAVE engine is still mounted also on MY2013, for now...

Yes AX is still CAV...
I just don't know what's different between A and AX

Ok at 4100kms the oil light has come on and this is my 2nd gti. 1st gti was fairly low at 5k Kms as that's when I did an oil change but I will be changing the oil tommorrow 900kms earlier.

My Oil light came on at the exact time, topped it up with 0.7L. How has yours been since?

how early have people been noticing the oil go down on the dipstick km wise? and whats the quantity from full on the dipstick to it not showing at all?

[Acko1991]

Should be a litre of oil.

well I'm now over 3,000km on the new engine and not a drop of oil used so ... I'm happy for now! *touch wood* no more oil and soot all over the back of the car too.

I'm happy it's going well Karly. I have just done 4000 km on the new engine this week and have added a liter of oil so far.

My GTI is a march build this year and has done just over 400km. i have been watching the dipstick like a hawk and it has not moved a mm.
But today i noticed soot around the exhaust tips and all over the back.
