I see, just wanted to check as I want to get some decent oil and spark plugs ready for my service next month.

sparkplugs.co.uk offer SKJ20CR whilst opieloils.co.uk offers the PKJ20CR. Which are the correct ones or do you think there both the same?

Cool, and its going ok then? Get mine back tomorrow so hopefully after 4000km (2485 miles) mine will still have oil left

Good news, Warranty Wise have approved ALL the work. They are replacing: 1.00 X VENTHOSE 03C103474AD 57.05 4.00 X JET 03C103157A 50.68 1.00 X SEALANT D176600A1 16.03 20.00 X SCREW N90500605 10.20 1.00 X VENTHOSE 03C103558AA 26.94 And in total, the parts is £249.73 plus £273.60 (£72 per Hour, 3.8 Hours) labor so £523.33. The software update wasn't mentioned but it isn't the end of the world as I have saved myself £523.33 and the warranty has paid for itself. Fingers crossed this works

They will deferentially pay for the labor on the jets its just the pipe and software updates they won't touch. Hopefully see what they come back with today.

Warranty Wise as i got a 3 year warranty with the car on purchase. They say they will be covering the oil jets but not the pipes or software updates. The trouble is i dont think the previous owner raised the issue so im not sure where i stand. Im gonna wait until they get back to me and then see what they said about the pipe and updates. If it wasnt for VWs £100 labor rates i wouldnt worry so much. The pipe is probably £45 and the updates is probably £50-60 so im guessing it would be 2 hours plus parts so nearly £300 which i wont be allowing.

Just got an update, the warranty company will cover the oil injectors once the assessment has been finished but they won't cover the intake or software update so it looks like I will have to pay for some of it. Should I try claiming good will from VW? In my opinion the thing they do to the intake pipe isn't a fix it's a modification so should I have to take the brunt for that? If it wasn't for VW's £100ph labor rates I wouldn't be too worried.

Good to hear, is that with a CAVE or CTHE engine?

It looks like they are doing it all in one hit. Waiting for approval from warranty company before go ahead. However i got a courtesy car at the moment so not worried as long as im kept in the loop. Driving a 65 plate VW Up! At the moment. It is VERY basic. No central locking or air con; You have to lock each door manually.

After taking my car back to VW after only 500 miles, they have acknowledged it is using oil. This is the note left on the "My Vehicle Live" page which they sent me via a text: "check oil level after 1000km, oil level on minimum, engine burning more than the .50 liters per 1000km, check tpis found one reqires intake pipe replaced and oil injectors replaced and software up date , recommend this tpi carried out as first point 3.80 hours". The quote for the work is £638!!! Just need to wait for the warranty company to approve. Does anyone know what the TPIS or TPI is?

So the oil was fine then suddenly just dropped?

Do you have the CAVE engine? I guess the breather mod was all you needed for the oil use to become normal?

The filter is something I'm thinking of doing around service time in December so hopefully the oil issue would have been sorted. Im not going to worry too much about an induction kit for now.

Is this filter oil based?

Thanks for confirming.

Does anyone know what the "Baid number" is?

That isn't too bad. To be honest I'd rather pay that than go through the hassle of an oil consumption test and risking it at the end being told that it is "ok". Was this in an attached document or just put into an email?

Thanks guys, you are absolute legends! Im surprised they gave you that information aswell. Next stage is to source it. For the oil jets, is that £44 for all 4 or per item?

That was the company I was trying to think of! Thanks. I haven't enquired VW directly set, I was going to contact a motor factor first to see if they have it. Am i right in thinking that this part originated from the Sirocco CAVD engines?

Does anyone know where to buy the oil jets (03c103157a) in the UK? Alot of places I have found doing a search are either showing this as discontinued or superseded with 03c103157e?

Do you know anywhere I can get one for a good price?

Is this the one you mean? http://www.awesomegti.com/brand/volkswagen-racing/volkswagen-racing-high-flow-replacement-filter-vw-polo-gti-6r

Hi all, Anyone here have a K&N filter fitted to their vRS? I presume the filter is the same as the Polo GTI one? If so was it an improvement?

It's weird how they won't let you see the paper work for your own car. I guess because they paid for it they have the right to hold the paperwork. Let us know how you get on.

I haven't approached him yet, it depends on how many miles I get from my recent top up then I can see if it is worth taking it further.
