thats p*** poor really, based on average mileage of 12k a year youre going to have to top up near on 12 litres of oil.
on a brand new car thats not acceptable in my eyes.

Yup - your right rover220, the only positives are that the dealer is supplying the oil FOC, but in my book it still isn't good enough, I hate to think what it is doing to the engine long term.

My car is booked in for a service on Friday. And just had a call from the service guy saying that the fix for the oil consumption will be done at the same time!

Will do. They have been testing it on the Skoda for the last couple of weeks.
I believe my Polo will be the first with this fix

Sounds a bit far fetched according to the skoda forum skoda don't have a fix for them

In the Netherlands they are still swaping out new engines, nothing about a fix is known here.

Picked my car up this morning but no oil fix as the parts are at short supply again
They are expected to arrive next Friday I have been told. The fix is a 'Vented Crank Case'? Not sure what it is/or does and neither did the service guy....

Mmmm - makes me think, why did they tell you the fix would be done when they did not have the part on site!
So once again means you have to take it back when it could have been done there and then.
As ever, keep us updated Stu on developments!
