Hello to all guys here on forum,

 

I'm desperate for some guidance with my Skoda Octavia.

Great car i like to keep it but lately after 300.000km started suddenly to spend lot of oil approx. 1l on every 2000km (check engine oil comes up). I use Castrol Edge 5W-30 oil

The DPF stage was cleaned and disabled in software (was giving lot or trouble the DPF, Catalysator, EGR, Nox valve etc.. all was for changing, for all of this Skoda asked more $$$$ than resale value of the car).

I have a mechanic who is saying to change the Turbocharger as main factor for the oil consumption 1L on every 2-3k km have to top-up 0.5l every 1-2k km  

When i stop on highway to put petrol or make short pause (after 3-4h driving without any issue), than start the car going back to highway and accelerating the car is juddering few times i push and release accelerator than is back to normal and no more juddering, is normal.

There is not visible any smoke on the back in normal driving only when i going uphill's and accelerating full to takeover another car is throwing some black smoke very rare.

 

The car apart of the eating oil is amazing i kept her very well and i don't want to sell.

 

Please if anyone had similar issues and found solutions please please share?

 

Thanks!!!

 

Nobody guys?

There’s a lot of threads on here and other mqb platform forums about the oil consumption. Is your dpf cleaned or have you had it removed? If not mapped out properly might be causing issues. 

Also the factory-stated maximum consumption is 0,5L per 1000km.  My 184hp TDI currently goes a bit over 3000km after topping up( dunk a full liter in when the light comes on). But my consumption has been higher too, in my case the consumption changes with overall oil-change and then stays at a similar level until the next one.

Thanks for the tip T07

 

The DPF and catalyst is done properly, is cleaned, removed the ceramic and rubbish from inside also mapped with special new firmware. The mechanic noted that is Turbocharger for replacement and he is sure 99% the oil wasted via the turbo.

Similar oil spend, what type of oil you added? How many km have car done?

The Maximum oil consumption as given by VW Group including Skoda is not 0.5 litres in 1,000 km.    Dealership staff might say that oil consumption is normal or within tolerances.

They just say that in some conditions they might use that, and in the first 5,000 km might use more.

*That is what they say about every VW Group engine from 44 kW up and petrol or diesel, 3,4,5,6,8,10 or 12 cylinder.* 

It is too much oil use if using that much under normal driving in normal conditions and not lots of short cold start runs..

I have read this and honestly I think is crazy, i had over 10 car brands in my 20+ years of driving most was Japanese brands nothing was drinking 1l oil. German brand cars think is a 🍺😁
