GTI oil consumption
GTI oil consumption
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.

Re: GTI oil consumption
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

Any smoke on startup? I get a little on startup sometimes 
Re: GTI oil consumption
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)
Re: GTI oil consumption
Any advice? What type of oil pour in the GTI?
