Yeah i think this is more of a CUPA and CUNA enhine problem. I read somewhere that they install piston rings that are softer to lower the drag and thus lower the emissions. The biggest problem is when new the oil interval is 30k km and that siezes the piston rings and over time all hell breaks loose. One of the mechanics that suggested I use 10w-60 oil is that there is a small chance that the rings could get loose again and seal again. But that is a small chance and ofcourse the pistons and rings must not be damaged.

Maybe check the compression. It won't tell you much but I susspect pistons/ piston rings. I have changed the oil to Castrol 10w-60 much thicker oil. The consumption went down alot but it is not DPF frendly. But I can clean the filter if it gets clogged up with ash. In my opinion this is a dissaster on all 184HP engines. I have two friends that were shocked when I told them about how much oil it uses. Now theirs started to eat oil. For me this is not a suprise anymore. I will never buy a TDI again.

Did the recalibration and still the same thing.. Rear windows and roof don't move and the front windows go up half point. What manual I coded the feature with the instructions from the top post

Aaa ok did not know that... I will test ASAP Ehat about the paniramic roof? Does ic fully close with rain close or not? Mine does not

Hey guys I enabled rain closing via these instructions And it works.. But only on front windows. The back windows and the roof do not respond. Is there any other VCDS option that I need to tweak? I do have the setting in the infotainment set to all windows

Mine strarts like a kitty.. No mather the temp or weather and mine has compression on the low side. And mine burns oil from max to min in 400km that should be 0.5L in 400km. It seems that we all have worn piston rings. Mine was burning oil from when I bought it (147k kms) . At first I tought it was a leak because the consumption was slow then over the years it started rising, even when i fixed the oil leak in the head. A couple of mechanics told me to put 10w-60 oil inside that is used in Audi R8, Ferraris,... It is not DPF frendly and quite thicker but I know how to clean the DPF filter so I tried it, it is not a fix but I need something to slow down the burning so I can save up some money and do a complete rebuild. The car now suprisingly runs alot quieter but I haven't done enough kms to see if the consumption has dropped. They also said if my piston rings are siezed they could loosen up and slow down the consuption but this is only delaying the inevitable rebuild. If rebuilding the engine you don't really know how much it will cost until the engine is opened up. If you have only worn piston rings you will at least need new piston rings, new conrod bearings, new head bolts, new head module bolts, head gasket, original VW sealing compound, new valve seals and new oil. I don't know if the head needs leveling. Some say if you take it off in steps it should be good and some say it needs leveling every time you take it off (why risk it if you are doing a complete rebuild). Then there is the question what is with the cylinders them self. How round are they, how tampered are they. Some say you only change the rings and check the bores if they are scratched and not shiny some even say you need honing even when everything looks good. In short i'm really in the dark.

I hope its only the piston rings. I am planning to open up the engine but I'm a little affraid I would need to replace the pistons. Here in Slovenia the pistons cost about 150 euro each and if the engine is opened up I need to replace the valve seals, con rod bearings, head gasket, head bolts (10 pcs) and the 18 bolts that are holding together the cam shaft module. And maybe I'm forgetting something. Does anyone know what is the difference between the 184hp ant 150hp engine. The 150hp engine has less problems with the oil consumption and they should be basically the same. My friend works in an autoparts store and he says the piston part numbers are different

Hello I also have a VRS MY2014 with high oil consumption... On highways it burns from max to warning on dash in about 400-500km I bought the car in 2018 with 147k km and now I have 207k km. The oil consumptions is rising over the years. I had a oil leak between the head and the modular part that houses the cams. The oil fill cap is always wet from oil and now I think the seal on the belt side of the crankshaft started to leak. Doea anyone else have this problem. I'm thinking piston rings. I made a compression test and got valuea that are on the low side of the ok parameters Piston 1 is 26bar Piston 2 is 25bar Piston 3 is 24bar Piston 4 is 25bar The haynes manual says the range should be 25-31bar and the engine at least 30 degrees celsious And the maximum difference of 5bar Absolute minimum is 19 bar The car does not smoke but the DPF git clogged. I took it out and cleaned it with a solution if water and HCL. Then rinsed it with a high flow of water. The celan was great and the regens that we happening all the time are now 600km appart. But the filter will get clogged up again if I don't fix the oil consumption issue

I made it work on my VRS mk3 octavia.. But it only closes the front windows.... Dies someone know if you can activate it for all windows and roof?

Hello How about my head unit. Any updates? Thank you
