Hi , Can anyone with a 1.6TDI advise what their engine oil consumption is please.

My car currently has 46k on it, its using approx 12 litres between services which I feel is excessive not to mention inconvenient.

My Skoda dealer is quoting up to 1 litre every 1k is acceptable. ( that could be be 50 litres of oil pa for me, 2x 5 gallon drums its hard to comprehend)

Interested to know if others are experiencing the same especially if doing high motorway miles. ta very much.

 

Is that your local Drug Dealer.  Cant be a Skoda Trained Technician surely, or even a salesperson....

 

May use 0.5 litres 1,000 km,  (621 miles) so 1 litre in 1,242 miles.

 and that is what they say for every engine and means nothing.

They say that for 3,4,5,6,8 & 12 cylinder diesels and petrols from 44kw up, and VW / Skoda / Audi & SEAT know that is not acceptable or within  tolerances in normal use.

ie are not towing over high alpine passes in high summer, just commuting to work and going shopping in the UK.

(VW lost in translation ....)

 

So you need an Official Oil Consumption test doing.

 

?

You do not say how long between services i take it you are on variable and not putting 12 litres in every 10,000 miles and then putting in new oil at a Service.

 

Get a Warranty Claim started and ask the Qualfications of the muppet at the dealership, and can they read an Owners Manual or a Servicing Manual.

 

Speak to Skoda UK directly. With that consumption, I'd be using a litre every 2 weeks or so!

 

For comparison, my 2.0 tdi used 0.5 litre in the first 18,000, nothing since apart from standard Skoda servicing.
