GTI oil consumption

Post by gtisrb »

Hello guys, I drive a polo 6n2 gti, engine AVY, I have a problem with oil consumption, on 2000km he uses 1l (Fuchs 5W-40 Supersyn), no smoke on exhaust, or oil breather, goes well and works great. Has anyone had this problem and how it is resolved, please help.

Thats a reasonable amount of oil you are using

Could be burning it, leaking it from underneath. Theres a few possiblities.

Might be worth getting an oil pressure test done

There is no leaking underneath, it's very cold now and its smoking on startup, I guess its normal, but while driving and when going under load and full throttle its smoking white (coolant is on normal level)

10w40 semi synth. Thats what needs to be used for standard.

Its slightly thicker too so it may resolve your issue
