Not a good new...
One forum user in Italy had a good result on his first 1000Km: 0.2 liter instead of the usual 0.5liter...

I can't say how they measured it...

Don't like the sound of that buddy, did they do an ECU update as well? When you say down on power, is this very noticeable? I would take it back again and express you dissatisfaction.
I am due to get this fix soon so this is of big interest to me. Has the oil consumption reduced at all?

There is an ECU update along with the fix. My dealer phoned me to ask if the car was remapped because this update would wipe the map.

Another good result (the second till now) after pipe changing: in the first 1.000Km oil level unchanged...
VWPolo Italy
IMHO anyway it is too early to declare victory...

Sounds promising
Yes - I think we need to give it a few 1000 miles/km before we can say for sure that this has cured this long outstanding issue.

Well, I hope it fixes it, mine is an older spec CAVE241... engine, but I believe the CAVE261 is simply the same engine with the newer piston rings - which I have had fitted anyway.
