Just pulled the pin and ordered a new VRS hatch.Had another test drive of the same car today.Does anyone know what the build date of the new CTHE engine is? The demo was on a 62 plate with a CAVE engine,which had 3600 miles on the clock with no oil on the dipstick :\ Have asked the salesman to check with Tech for my engine code (week 17-19).

Someone will know the official date for engines when the first ones were available,

i know members here had their new vRS in the UK, November-December 2012 with the CTHE engines.

Yes,mine was early November.The engine code is on the front page of the service book.

I would guess that the early 62 plate cars,September,would be the old engines.

Is it chewing oil?

Mine was end of September 2012, CTHE code (still uses oil)

Is it chewing oil?

No....1 litre used ,4000 miles ,and probably getting even better now run in.

Will probably do a 1000 mile run-in oil & filter change.

Honestly i think that you would be wasting money and gaining nothing changing oil and filter at just 1000 miles on a Twincharger.

Maybe 3000-4000 would be a good time or just at the 10,000/12 month service.

It comes now with Variable Servicing and oil for that and it is good oil.

Much as i do oil changes its at 3000 miles on the Twincharger,

they are not necessary, just doing it because i have lots of oil kicking around, and bored...

I take it you have paid extra and taking a 5 year warranty.

Mine was a Early November (CTHE) - used 400ml approx in 1500miles

But whatever the oil consumption is.. I absolutely LOVE it!

We are going to buy the 4th year warranty,seems a no brainer at £130.

How much is the 2 year Skoda extension to the 3 year warranty when buying new,? That would be my choice.

I never knew there was a 4th year extension.
