That's not so good to hear. Touch wood but have not had to put a teaspoon of oil into ours between services to date. No comfort to you I'm afraid!

no.. but glad yours is running ok..... I am sure its normal despite what Lennock say...

[bobski]

Yeah, some seem to use more oil. Not sure if its how the engine is run in or bad luck. Has yours been modified? Your sig seems to indicate more power?

Our 118tsi is still full after 11000kms. Run in without any attention paid to the run in schedule (first 2 thousand Ks a drive to coffs harbour and back - which is supposedly not ideal).

but sadly not full of oil after 5000km... needed a litre or so... rang the dealer... was told that i should expect a little oil usage before the first service... so does that also apply to a new car? Does a new car use a litre of oil before the first service? I dont think so... any one have any thoughts? I have emailed the dealer in writing with my concerns..... guess we will see at the first service...

To paraphrase the owners manual:

Your engine may use more oil than normal while running-in. It is recommended that initially you check the oil at every fuel fill. After running-in your engine may use up to 500ml per 1000km and this is considered normal.

Sure thanks brad.... will bear that in mind... slight ECE remap... but has standard tune in at the moment.
