Why I hear you cry, I'll tell ya why, cos I was stuck on the back of an A.A. tow truck thats why !! after having been told it was only a spark plug problem, then a coil pack problem, then the inlet valve not sealing problem, it has now turned into a cylinder head rebuild with a cambelt pack and new water pump thrown in for good measure total cost about £700 which is a bit of a blow but should be ready on saturday wouldnt mind but i just replaced the front pads and discs last month but hopefully nothing more will need doing for some time now, fingers crossed. Anyway enough of my problems, I wanted top ask anyone what their experience was regarding oil usage, as ive been told the mk4 2.0cc gti (2001 model) does use quite a bit is that the case ??

Sorry to hear about your engine problems.....£700.00 Ouch!! :shocked:
And yes, the 2.0 does seem to use alot of oil, but I know some modern cars do (especially the new Mazda RX8) but as the engines get older they should use less

What was the problem with you golf any symptons other owners should look out for?

The problem basically was a lack of top end power when accelerating, then when I pulled into the service station it was misfiring, after putting on remote diagnostics it revealed a problem with the inlet valve not sealing properly, unfortunately its not really a problem you can avoid if it occurs its just one of those things I suppose, but i'm looking forward to driving it again soon
