After how many miles should the oil light come on?
« on: 03 January 2010, 21:38 »
Posting again but not so long winded. So hoping some help will come my way.

Had fair bit of work done on the golf, head gasket coil pack.
And told VW specialist that i'll do about 200miles and oil light comes on so after all work and collecting the car the VW specialist said oh your do at least 10k without oil light coming on. But 1000 miles....its come on again!!!

Where is it going? Are golf gti using that much oil?!? As mates cars, fords peugeots go 10k plus and no problems.

All help will be grateful,

Head gasket? Oil in the water?
