I'm going to give this one a try!
My wife's bog standard 07 GTI has been using a litre of oil per thousand kilometres for the last 50,000klms
Yes you read that right. I've put more than 50 litres of 5W30 Castrol Edge into my wife's car (in top ups alone) over the last 3 years.
That's €500 worth of oil (well, that's if you buy it in Halfrauds
)
It's also had circa another 20 odd litres in oil changes. It's a joke.
Car drives perfectly. When I spoke to Volkswagen Ireland about it they simply told me it was "within spec" for that model and to get on with it
Frustrating. What a stupid spec that is....
If you want to go on a continental road trip you need to bring a 5ltr of oil with you?
It's like a bloody 2 stroke
My 2005 model AXX doesn't use a drop....
Go figure
