could be a number of things, know mine was using more oil when the pvc was faulty ?
-
Mine used to use loads and now I've changed from 5w30 to 5w40 and it doesn't use anywhere near as much. Try a thicker oil if your currently using 5w30 :smiley:.
And double check pcv
-
Using castrol 5w30 ,been reading to test pcv with dipstick when i remove dipstick car start to rough idle (is this ok?). And when i remove pcv valve and blow through him i hear very small amount of air coming from the opposite side
-
pcv should only work one way has a check valve in it, if you change it make sure you get the revision R, and not the rev p the dealer gave me or you wil have to change the rear pcv valve with the pipe with the check valve in,
-
I'm going to replace it, is it possible that the PCV valve is causing that much oil consumption?
-
Replace the PCV if there is some air coming through it but I doubt that will be the sole reason for your oil consumption.
If your not getting any blue smoke then id deffo change to a decent 5w40 like millers nano and see what its like then... like I say mine used a lot (not quite as much as yours) and now its miles better! :smiley:
-
Today i replaced PCV valve with revision R (before N) now test ...
Next im gonna put new oil im thinking about Motul 5w40

I bought a 2007 GTI in April 2015. Did approximately 5000 miles and the oil check light came on topped it up with half a litre as it was dark and forgot all about it. around 1200 miles later the check oil light has came back on today so I have put in 1.5 litres , The dip stick is now on the max marker . I have squared the mileometer to 0 to see exactly what consumption I am getting but I believe this sort of consumption to be normal .?
