    Polo GTI High Oil Usage - Discussion Thread

    37g7 doesn't change that, it just alters the solenoid seating positions when the car is turned off...

    Forget about it, it does nothing to the drivability of the car.

    I've had oil splatter since day one.

    Had the breather hose replaced by the dealership, and they promised that would resolve the problem.
    It didn't. The oil splatter is worse and the oil temperature runs on average 10c hotter.
    Took it back to the dealership again and they told me, ' That head office in Germany wanted them to top up my oil and bring it back after 1000kms or if the low oil light illuminates' .
    I questioned the relevance of replacing the hose and they just gave me more BS and said they don't have an answer how to fix my problem.
    They admit there is a problem, but can't fix it and I'm left driving a brand new car looking like it's been racing in a coal mine

    What's your oil consumption been? I've just had my first service (12,000kms) and it seems consumption is increasing. Getting my clutches replaced today / tomorrow and told them to look at the consumption and the soot (terrible soot). Sigh....

    has anyone noticed after the 5000k mark that the oil consumption reduces and fuel also lasts a fair bit longer?

WOW !!! so this thing will never resolve mind as well request for a new car cause clearly it is a defect. Anyone here actually had a breather hose replacement and it actually worked?
    My car was the one that chewed through the oil within 600kms. But funny enough, after a top up. I've done 600kms, checked the dipstick and it hasn't moved from the top. So I'm guessing it is working now.

    I most certainly noticed it after the 15K service as I'm now on 23K and the oil level still hasn't dropped at all.

    As per the owner's manual, oil consumption may be higher than normal during the first 5000 km.

    As a general rule, oil and fuel consumption will stabilise as the engine breaks in, but the point at which this occurs will obviously vary from engine to engine.

    Had my clutches replaced today and when I dropped the car off I mentioned the oil consumption and exhaust soot. When I picked it up they had ordered the breather hose and booked me in to get it fixed.....no questions asked. Time will tell if the consumption dies down but I must say I have a crush on Burwin VW, they're just fantastic. It's starting to restore my faith in VW.
