T5 oil consumption test

[Kombi]

Had the car booked in for oil consumption test at the commercial dealer in the city for first thing Tuesday morning, after three hours waiting I was told that they first have to fix every small oil leak first, so rocker cover and main end, after another two hours waiting they quoted $3000 😱 after I calmed down I discovered they mistakenly quoted on a four motion, so another hour and new quote $2000, so I asked for service manager for a private conversation, told him about the bad service and convinced him that we do the consumption test regardless of the small oil leaks, I gues next vw gonna insist on fixing the oil leaks after the oil consumption test before considering any goodwill, maybe I should’ve bought Korean.

What version T5 do you have? and what were the results of the test?

2012 , C cooler egr dated ‘15, following a couple oil consumption test, a compression test and fixing physical oil leaks, tpi determined engine replacement, did a goodwill application, thankfully VW paying for parts and I pay labor, the car does have full dealer service history,
I am not convinced that the egr alone is causing the oil consumption issue on the CFCA engine, high compression suggest possible oil rings are stuck, also could well be a valve stem issue. Worst oil consumption was 1L doing 140-150 for an hour in fifth gear, best consumption is half a litre to a thousand kilometres with new oil (15W40) after engine flush and dpf clean.
