Dropped the car off this morning for Clutch Plates... interestingly though, it has not asked for more oil in the last week or so.... its a little strange that it has just suddenly stopped drinking oil.

Clutch Plates replaced.. all seems good.. Part 1 of the oil consumption test underway. They drained the sump and discovered 3.6 litres left (so I assume the oil light was about to come on again soon). They refilled it and asked me to return in 1000km (part 2) to check the remaining quantity. We will see what happens then I guess.

Skoda are running an oil consumption test for 1000km. Took the car away to Wollongong on the weekend and had to add 1 litre of oil at around 480km and another around the 870km or so. See image.... took it back yesterday and as I have added oil (what choice did I have being so far from Canberra and I did ask if the light came on could I add oil and was told yes ok) and we are starting the test again... but from what i can see from the last 1000km test.. I used in excess of 2 litres of oil.... can only be a rebuild/replacement on the horizon.

Because its using oil a lot, or because of Clutch plates? Are you getting another VAG vehicle ?

They topped up my oil again, and after 307km.. the oil light is back on..... the back of the car has a nice layer of black oil on it... I dont think there is any doubt that its a rebuild or replacement required. Was told unofficially that it could be 7-8k..... Used Car Warranty to the rescue! They asked me not to add oil, but to bring it back as soon as the oil light came on.. well it came on Friday night.. and now its a long weekend... doh!

There is either something very wrong with the engine or a substancial oil leak if your continually losing that much oil in such a short space of time.
