Edit to last sentence as my mobile decided to autocorrect and confused everything?!!!

UPDATE 

To all the forum users, firstly a Happy New Year (Chinese) and Happy Burns Night (Scottish).

Just a quick update on this thread....

After my initial panic and with the help of you all I can now confirm that the CAVE isn't an oil burner like I feared !!!

I've done a few low-tech oil consumption tests and they all seem to indicate minimal oil consumption. I can live with the occasional small top up every 2k or so.

So just to say thanks to all those who took the trouble to answer my posts. You're all very appreciated 😁

Also, if anyone wants a VRS personalised plate, mines in the classified for £150 all in 👍

You have no idea how much hassle has just been saved, I can assure you dealing with SUK would have drained you completely. They are, for want of a better term, a shower of b*******.

 

And I say that after experiences in obtaining new engine, then a battle royal over a failed mechatronic unit and clutches, and then with my daughter's mk3 Fabia on the coolant/ water pump issue and now also DSG.

 

Put simply, the build quality isn't there.

Sittingbull, looks like I'm one of the lucky ones. I really hope you get sorted without too much more pain. Fingers crossed for you 🤞

Sittingbull,

Sounds like you've been through the mill on your Fabia. I don't know what to suggest other than keep on keeping on......good luck !
