I am having one of these moments that I am just thinking what the hell have I done buying a GTi. Basically 2 weeks ago, completely filled up oil to the brim, since then been driving around normally doing about 40/60 miles a week. Used the 10K Boost on it this week, and all of a sudden yesterday I get a lack of oil sign pop up on dashboard.
Checked the oil and it's almost empty. Went to VW bought Synta Silver and filled it up, driving back on motorway I get the Exhaust Management Light coming on! I've checked the obvious signs of a headgasket and it's definitely not that. Any other suggestions? I need help!!!
Regarding the excessive oil consumption, not entirely sure on that mate.
As for the exhaust emissions warning light, that can be a number of different things. Mine came on because I had a problem with the crankcase breather which needed a new pipe to be fitted.
as for the light it can be anything mine comes on for different reasons faulty brake light switch, faulty lamba sensor. but as for that 10k boost its a chance people take and your light my have come on from that as the emssions are higher than normal? loss of oil well not got a clue.
Basically its a carb cleaner. Cleans the throttle body with all the s**t the oil breather throws in. After cleaning it out you notice the car alot more responsive (if it was dirty). Last for a wee while until it gets bunged up again. Carb cleaner = £3 or so, 10k boost = £20-£30 so I have been told. Which would u go for ?!
Well I've had a proper proper look at the engine bay today, there appears to be a leak right at the bottom of the engine, so the good news is it's not burning the oil. Still have to figure out what the Exhaust emissions warning is and why there's white smoke coming out of it!
