It's been using more oil for me, about 1l/1000 km. In the spring, when school is over, I'll take a look at the engine, I want to fix it. It's been using more oil for me, about 1l/1000 km. In the spring, when school is over, I'll take a look at the engine, I want to fix it.

If the engine's history is unknown, definitely check the valve clearances before you install it. It's much easier that way

Since you're already replacing the timing belt and water pump, it’s not much extra work to change the oil pump belt too. It’s worth doing it then and using a new crankshaft seal as well. I’ve worked on all kinds of bikes, but mostly 10-20 year old Japanese models, including dirt bikes and scooters. My experience includes engine rebuilds, piston and valve repairs, and similar jobs.

Hi! Thank you for your reply! I started our joint future with a fluid and timing belt replacement. I currently put in Motul X-Clean 8100 oil with Bosch filters. I read a lot about the various problematic water pumps and finally installed an INA timing kit. I also replaced the oil pump belt. I will definitely perform a compression test and monitor the oil level as well. I want to gather experience until spring, because I will have time to deal with the engine in early summer, if necessary. Do you happen to know what kind of piston and ring set is worth buying? OEM? Mahle? Kolbenschmidt? I perform the repairs myself; my original profession is a motorcycle mechanic, so I have encountered a few engine blocks before, and I hope this one won't defeat me either.

Hi everyone! I've been a happy vRS owner for a few weeks now. It's a 2015 CUP engine. I'm aware of the oil consumption problem (I don't know yet if mine is affected, but I'm anticipating it). I'd like to prepare for a future engine overhaul. I've found many different types of pistons and bearings. Does anyone have any information or experience on which part number piston or piston ring set is worth buying? Is there a revised version of these? Thank you! Have a nice evening!

2015 Octavia vRS CR TDI, "Oil Stove" CUP engine. I've already read up on the oil consumption problems beforehand. I'm not afraid of the repair yet, as I used to fix motorcycles and I even bought the Seat with a faulty engine; I fix everything myself (except for the machine work, of course, which I have to take to a shop). I'm primarily here for information: which manufacturer is worth choosing for certain parts, and what are the best solutions. I will look for the appropriate topic then. Thank you!
