Was / is the plan. But I don't have the heart to sell it to someone knowing its got such a fault and its days are numbered.
 
My CDA engine is using around ℓ1 per 1000KM.

The chap that services the car reckons I should try Liqui Moli 10w/60. Just worried about that causing even more damage.
 
my polo gti 1.4 twincharged 132 kw - 500ml of oil every 3000kms
wifes A1 1.4 turbo 85kw - no oil ever
wifes current Tiguan 1.4 110kw - no oil ever
my clio 1.6 T - no oil ever

It gets confusing to some. initially the TSi referred to the Turbo Super engines. I had the CAVE engine, was meant to be upgrade on the original 1.4 twincharged. but it still let go of 3rd piston at 70 000kms.

Later on they dropped the twincharged in favour for 1.4 turbo's with more power (e.g. the 110kw) in the higher spec TIguans and golfs. The polo gti mid life cycle got the 1.8T instead of the 1.4 twincharged (referring to the 6R polo)
 
Eish, using that much of oil is totally out of spec.
But in this country, the dealerships just passes the buck, and have the "NO ONE CARES" attitude.:mad:
 
Not sure the relevance here but my 2011 Audi A1 1.4 tfsi would idle like a dog when cold and would lose oil pressure intermittently, one of the only cars I've ever had where I needed to add oil between services. What was worse was that by the time the car would lose oil pressure who knows how long it had been running low on oil because I never got a warning light to add oil, I just got the engine warning light come on when the pressure dropped.
 
TSI Turbo Stratified injection
FSI Fuel Stratified Injection.

Oil usage probably the dreaded ring land disease.
 
My wife's Golf 7 GTI also enjoyed drinking oil. We topped up on avg 1-2 bottles (500ml) between service intervals. According to VW it's normal. "It's a performance car, it uses more oil". Mkay.

Other than the turbo failing, radiator being replaced twice due to leaks, gearbox throwing error codes every month or so and VWs award winning customer service, it was a fun car.

That being said. Glad I sold that POS. Her previous car a 2011 A3 1.8t was also an oil guzzler and had a known issue and I had to put up a fight with Audi to fix it.

Essentially the same thing, VAG just changed their minds about their naming conventions, so we get...

FSI
FSI T
TFSI
TSI

Yep, almost every case I have heard of it has been ring land failure.

I have always called BS on this, it is unfortunately a typical excuse from VAG.

Not really. Car was under maintenance plan. Never paid a cent apart from the time having to deal with various dealerships.

Dealership in Somerset west once forgot to put the oil cap back after a service. 1-2km after collecting the car there was smoke everywhere. Bunch of knobs working there.
 
Any car burning oil means excess oil is entering the combustion chamber. This is NOT normal, and VW is talking out of their asses.

Its "normal" actually. To achieve emmisions and effeciency targets. tolerences in engines are actually a little "looser" to prevent too much friction. result is oil burns more than older tech where they a bit tighter and better sealed. Problem is that this "looseness" varies engine to engine.

my twincharged motor was also in spec until piston 3 said bye bye.

Is it normal according to us? no. is it normal for them. Yes it is. remember dieselgate? do what you must mein furer
