1.8 TFSI engine

[Skodartford]

So does the skoda 1.8 petrol suffer the same oil consumption probls as the Audi lump ?

[Gromle]

Mine has barely consumed any oil for the first 5500km.

Just wish there were more options for this engine in UK

You can only get the Fwd manual/Dsg?

14 months and 32000km. I just added 3 or 4 dl of oil at the end of the running in period.

I like the Brown interior :p

Up here its available in elegance (or what its called these day) aswell.

Haven't got our new L&K yet and yes  it is bloody expensive. But we're keeping it for 10 years, so depreciation is not an issue, and I got a decent discount from our local dealer. Brown is OK if you're sitting on it and looking elsewhere ...

I've had 2 mk2 L&K 1.8's.1st got demolished by another at 10,000 miles without oil topup.. 2nd was variable servicing and dropped slightly before its service, but not critical.

[Gromle]

The Mk2 had a different engine didnt it?

[susi]

Needed to add about 3dl after 7k km. Nothing since.

. People should bear in mind that some of these posts relate to the older gen 2 1.8tsi and not the new third generation one as fitted to the current Octy.

Mine does, clocked as using 2.36litres in 625 miles. Skoda dealer says it needs a new engine at £4800 less 30% goodwill down to £3300

Car is a Superb 1.8 turbo. Sept 2009  68000 miles

Now going to replace with a new Octavia 1.6 CRDi DSG

But that is another engine? Its the 160bhp aint it?

[PowerMalc]

Yes its 160hp But probably the same basic engine design

[Gromle]

Possibly, but Ive yet to read about excessive oil consumption on the 1.8 TSI in the Octy 3.

So another example that's not relevant to this new design/octavia. The new one is an EA888 - a close derivative of the 2 litre currently used in the VRS/GTI (as before) but the gen 3 one is a nicer unit than the one I have (a gen. 2 160ps unit). Its also very capable when tuned - a simple stage 1 map brings 250bhp and almost 300lb/ft torque.

In 13k km I had to refill around 200ml. I have the new Octavia 3 1.8tsi.
