HI, recently purchased a VRS with 102K on it. Nice car, pleased with it. I do have a question about oil consumption. I checked the oil when purchased and was where it should be on the dipstick. After 2,000 miles it is only just touching the bottom of it. Too excessive for 2,000 miles?
Also, I checked the manual but cannot seem to find the spec of oil in Halfords, or similar.
What is the usual go to spec oil please in layman's language.
Thank you in advance

Welcome. A TSI or a TDI? The Oil if a pre 2018 car will be VW 504 00 / 507 00 , so 5w 30 FS III, or 0w 30 FS III, 2018 on is maybe VW508 00 / 509 00, so 0W 20 FS IV. But you could use 0w 30 FS III. Are you checking the oil not only when cold, but to get the correct level when the Engine Oil is up to normal operating temperature, so an indicated 90*oC or so after stopping a few minutes. 4 or 5 minutes.

Welcome to the forum.

Strongly suggest you 'pull the stick' more often until you get a sense of how much it's using - the TSI (EA888) engines, early ones particularly, can have a bit of a thirst for oil. A litre in 2K miles might be a bit high.
