Drinking oil

[Taximan1978]

Hi can anyone help ave got a 1.9 PD BXE engine on a 07 octavia.

Ave had a reckon turbo fitted 5 weeks ago and for the last 2/3 weeks ave been topping the oil up every 2/3 days the oil is dropping between the full mark and half way on the checkard flag part on the dipstick am starting to get sick of the oil light flashing up on dashboard.

Any suggestions or ideas much appreciated thanks Graeme

Get it checked by the people who fitted the turbo.

Oil light coming on when the level is halfway down the dipstick? Sounds like an oil pressure (pump fault?) rather than an oil level (leak?) issue.

Check for traces of oil in the coolant. Check for oil drips/traces in and around engine.

Hi thanks for the reply ave checked the coolant like u said but nothing lovely and pink. Do u no anything about oil pumps or pressure cheers

No, I've no expertise to offer you there. I daresay that oil pressure can be checked by VAG diagnostics kit, or a pressure checker that the garage can screw into the pressure sender connector. You need an expert to check.

Sadly your issue is not much different from the later Euro 6 engines.

Solutions not much different either.
