Hi all. Recently completed the K04 build and loving it.  Only thing I've notice is its burning oil like there is no tommorow.  Normal????

How much we talking ? I seem to remember reading that VW state TFSI can use up to 1 litre every 1000km (621miles)

My ED30 didn't use anything between 3-4000 oil changes, so something isn't right there.

White crusties on the spark plugs - the engine is burning it. Clean plugs - it's leaking past the turbine shaft seal.

1 liter per 2k km or something like that is fine according to VW. This generation of the 2 liter burns oil. That's just how they are.

Do half that mileage in a month though.
