Title: Oil Burners
Post by: GrahamFR on 10 December 2013, 08:25
Oil Burners, im used to them. However, how are the TSI's at burning through their oil? I mentioned this to a dealer yesterday and he suggested i should monitor and top up myself before my first 10k service, that being the case what do people recommend?

Should've asked your dealer for a bottle of top up oil when collecting. They'll normally throw one in

Only ever had one of my previous 6 VWs use any oil between services, the one that was badly run in my doing 700 motorway miles during it’d first few days of ownership – that one got through a litre of oil in its first 300 miles and a litre every 2k miles thereafter. It was a 140 2.0TDI PD Golf MK5 GT (55 plate). Mobil 1 is usually the prefered choice for 1 litre top up oils for the car from the dealership these days.

Lucky  :drool: I paid £199 for mine part of the PCP.... mind you.... I did get a nice discount so can't grumble too much.
Just getting them to try and swap my iPhone4 MDI cable for a red one.

Red? Why, you cant see it lol?

Although you remind me of a good point, off topic now but is there anyway of making the Ipod speed up coming on in the morning or does anyone else find it slow? my CD comes on and it doesnt recognise my ipod for a good few mins when i start up and its annoying, the leon was straight away.
