Re: Using Oil!

I'm starting to get hacked off now over this oil consumption on my GTI.

Garage 1 (Witherspoons, Sighthill in Edinburgh) - They agreed to do a consumption test after 5000 miles after much arguing on my part. Go along today to get them to top it up and start the test only to find they are now out of ...

Re: Using Oil!

This is bad for VW service! I would definitely be complaining.

I got the scrappers done in June, 2500 miles later and still no problems. Better keep my fingers crossed.

Re: Using Oil!

I had the piston scrappers replaced, done about 800 miles no issues, yet.

Mines in next week to get them done.

Any issues with the car, i'm a bit concerned as they are having to open the engine up.

I was concerned too, but my local VW did a fantastic job. I am going to check the oil level this ...

Re: Using Oil!

The dealer said it was a fault with the piston scrapers, so its ...

Re: Using Oil!

My GTI took 1 litre of oil at 3500 miles. Then at 5500 the oil light came on. Took it back to the dealer who performed a controlled oil check, apparently a manufacturing fault with pistons so they are now getting replaced.

Re: New member with Polo on order! Retrofitting?

I could not wait for a factory order, I was lucky to get one that someone else had ordered and then cancelled. I want cruise control but I have spoke to 3 different dealerships who say that it can not be retro fitted yet. Is this true?

New member. Hello

Hi, I have been looking around the forum for a couple of weeks now, and thought it was about time I said hello.

My girlfriend bought a SEL 1.2 diesel last September, we think it looks better than the current Golf. I was looking at cars as a Christmas present for myself, and originally I had wanted ...
