Fabia VRS: Oil Useage

[disorder]

Just out of curriosity, how much oil does your Fabia VRS use? Mine hardly uses any. Is this normal? I thought with it being a high performance diesal it would use quite a bit.

[Tech1e]

Some do some dont, your lucky, dont complain.

[AlexR]

Nope. Mine has used no measurable amount in the 7k since i got it. I don't thrash it about though, and when i do need to use boost to overtake it's always up to full oil temp(another 10 mins driving after coolant temp reaches running temp)

I wish they'd fit an oil temp gauge as standard.

Mine doesn't use much oil either

[jasc1988]

Mines doesnt use any

[DGW]

None over the 3400 miles I have owned the car.

Well mine is a PD 100, not a vRS. Had done 16k when I aquired it. Between 16k and 26k it used a litre and then between 26k and 36k it used another litre. Apparently that's well within tolerance (and it's not leaking or smoking) but I would have expected much lower oil use then that. Oh and it's driven fairly gently!

[AlexR]

according to VAG exceptional oil use is over 1 litre every 600 miles...

[vRSLen]

The wife's vRS does not use any oil from service to service

[HotVRs]

About 1 litre in 10,000 miles of mostly motorway cruising.

[MikeW]

Mine uses virtually no oil.

[sharkrider]

I did 80k and never had to top it up once

(48k in the fiat so far and haven't had to top that up either, and it has 18k service intervals...)

[djswivel]

Almost none. The only reason I had to put some in was the oil filler cap rubber failed and so spilled a bit out. Since the new cap, no problems.

[Decron]

I had to top my Golf PD 100 up once in 120k, the VRS had nothing in 57k and the Roomy hasn't either in 21k. All cars have been serviced normally
