My car (vRS CAVE Engine) is using 1 litre of oil every 400 miles... I tried emailing [email protected] but got an invalid email address......... My car has only done 27K.. Not sure what to do.. :-(

Cheers mate..

Thanks, I've arranged for the car to go in on Monday, local skoda dealer, they are going to do some monitoring and have asked that I come in for a top up of oil, they then want me to come back after 600 miles to check it and then repeat the process again and then they will give me their conclusions... The dealer said they had two vRS in for oil monitoring tests, one needed a new oil breather pipe, but he wouldnt tell me what they did with the other vRS? Humm...

Hi all, I am back and can I say a thank you to all for your comments. So I did a quick trip to the petrol station, on a cold start check, the dip stick reading was well under the half way cross zone area, when the car reached 53 degrees, I switched off and then checked the oil and I could hardly see anything in the cross hatch zone and barly some on the tip... See my pic for representation..

Thanks guys - I will defo do a hot dip test and let you know... My car had its first service at 2,500 miles, it is on 9,320 miles now and its next service should be March 2014. Warrenty expires June 2014

Just looking at sk4gw photo of the dip stick.. When I brought the car, the oil (on cold) was just below the orange thing (above the cross hatch area). When it went down into the cross hatch area (half way in the cross hatch area), I put in 1/4 Ltr oil, that took it above the cross hatch and then that process has been repeated. Everytime it gets half way in the cross hatch area I put in exactly 1/4 Ltr oil to bring it back to just above the cross hatch area. Am I not putting in enough? Should I be putting oil right up to the bottom of the orange zone (above the cross hatch area).. Figures are roughtly 1/4 (quarter) Ltr for every 1,100 miles...

Thanks all, a lot of info to diget, in terms of right oil levels, I was always told never to fill it to the orange "blob bit". the 1/4 Quarter of oil is in Ltrs.. When I brought the car at 2,500 miles the oil dip stick was at the bottom of the Orange blob.. over time it has gone done and when it was half way in the cross hatch area I topped it up to the top of the cross hatch (with 1/4 Ltr oil) and I have been doing that ever since, every 1,100ish miles. Are we saying that I am running the car with not enough oil in it..

Hi all, Its been a while since I have been on the forum, but I wanted to revist this issue of oil burning vRS's.. So I have been pretty good at keeping a record of what I put in my beloved vRS and the readings are as follows (1/4 oil every 1,100 miles) : So my question is (before the warrenty runs out in June 2014), should I be going back to the Skoda dealer and making a fuss of the amount of oil my car is using or is this in the acceptable limits of the car. (because we know that this type of car has a habit of burning oil here and there). Also if I do go back to the dealer, what should I say and what should I ask them to do.. Thanks all, advice please... oh btw, love the car besides its love for oil ofcourse!!!! See attached excel spreadsheet for figures..

Does anybody know when the DSG versions will be released

Does anybody know if the new vRS has configuration settings for different engine modes? "Eco, "Sport" mode for example in both the TDI and pertrol varients?

Would of liked to have seen some interior pics..

Oh ok... Its perfectly fine after a minute or so......... Thanks all for your responses.. I am now starting to floor it a bit... still not enough miles on him yet...

Jayneyyy - Black just sets things off nicely.. she looks awesome... What the spec on yours, any extras?

Hi all, Has anyone with a fabia vRS MK2 experienced any form of vibration on a cold start irrespective of the weather conditions? My car is a 2010 (registered with an 11 plate), its only done 5K as it was a show room car (s2000)... My symptoms are as follows : - Put the key in swtich on.. - Wait for the MFD to display and then for the speedo and rev counter to do their (stuff).. - I then turn the engine over. - After about 3 seconds or so, I feel a vibration, it lasts for about 4 seconds, then stops for 2 seconds and then appears again for 4 or so seconds and then thats it.. There is no unusal engine noise or slight increase in reving.. its a really difficult thing to explain...Its almost like a vibration/light murmer...... Cheers Arif
