L3ETT Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Well checked the oil in the R32 last night only to find it was right at the bottom of the dipstick! Sure enough on the way to work this morning the oil light came on! I've only done 3k in the car, but a trip to the VW dealership this lunchtime showed VW believe burning 1ltr per 600 miles is acceptable!!! Geez as if petrol wasn't expensive enough!!

Fucawi Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 You've been spoilt, try driving a Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo. Had to check the oil every 2 days.... and that was considered normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gti_Fly Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Topped up 3/4 of litre at 700 miles on mine - hasn't used any more since (1700 miles now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Has anyone thought about changing their oil to another make/type, perhaps Castrol RS Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gti_Fly Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 I'm quite content with VW synta gold - ran both my previous 1.8t's without any hassles using the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
