Polo GTI High Oil Usage - Discussion Thread

[Ricka]

Thanks, can you please elaborate on what an oil breather TPI is?

Hey guys so just had my engine replaced after 10k km (1 year) of high oil consumption. It was around 0.5-0.8 l/1000km and I was coming in for top ups every second week. A few days before the replacement the engine went into limp mode as the spark plugs were fouled due to oil contamination. Only done 1600km on the new engine but doesn't seem to have moved on the dipstick. So fingers crossed it's all good from here. I have found the new engine is different in the way it spins/cools down after being turned off... Not sure if they had revised anything.

once again updating you guys with my latest saga with my 2012 polo gti. after my new engine refit did an oil consumption test returned with 450mL. essentially dealership couldnt do anything about it since it is within specs. So i escalated this matter to Volkswagon australia to seek for a better solution. fingers crossed. Cant handle this anymore sigh.

My Polo Gti is under engine rebuild because of the high oil consumption. The dealer lend me their service loan car for 3 days while waiting for the other car from VW Australia. But unfortunately VW Australia rejected the dealer's application for a loan car coz it didnt meet their criteria. And they mentioned as well that it is not part of their warranty. The dealer wants their service car back...
Now leaving me without a car to drive to work..

They probably feel you have sufficient public transport options...

mate of mine just got a hire car out of VW while his transmission was fixed. 1 car between 2 working people, one does night shifts. 40km drive to work. No public transport within 20km.

maybe you just have to suck it up & hire a car. Or ring Customer care direct

They totally killed me mate! I thought VW is reputable company and reliable. I guess i got the wrong impression.. first & last VW ride, never again.

Just a quick update on my Polo Gti engine rebuild & pistons replacement:

Because of the unreliable Volkswagen Australia not providing me a loan car. The Vw dealer in Deer Park decided to lend me their dealer service car for a few more days and they put my Polo under priority repair (was originally booked for repair on the 28th) and now, back on road with positive results. No more black soots after the engine break-in (thanks Yaks1974 for the great tips!)

I praise Kevin Dennis VW for great customer support, service & consideration..

With VW Australia you should wonder why you're losing customers...
