Oil consumption is mostly caused by extended oil change interval. 10k miles interval can reduce the risk significantly and over 10 y is more economical. No need to add 15 L in one oil change interval.

I love a video like like this. Everything I needed to know without scrolling endless pages of forums and buyers guides. Complete with pictures and sound clips to help avoid. Finally topped with a bit of humour so it wasn't dull to watch. The windows 98 error box for cambelt failure made me smile

Your videos deserve more views. You do a lot of research and the content is excellent.

[@lahaag3310]

We have a 2010 Octavia with the 1.6 TDI 105 hp (manual) in the family with 350 000 km! Nothing has gone wrong. Very, very reliable if serviced properly. The car is dog slow, but is perfect for motorway cruising. It's very good on fuel. 4.5-4.7 L/100km is my REAL average with mixed driving.

Important thing to prevent these issues, use high quality oil and change every year or every 12000 kilometers and dont forget the filter as well.

[@The_Touring_Jedi]

I do mine at max. 10.000km or less depends on how the car has been used. City or highway driving.

Make it 7500 km on only city driving, 10k on mixed and 12k on only country roads.

If you're still on G13 coolant switch asap to G12evo. G13 reacts with the interior heater / radiator and clogs up. Especially on diesel engines. Mine died around 115k km. GTD 2.0 tdi CUNA (pre Facelift)

[@dino30ma]

Its clog up becouse of f... Silca bag in coolant reservor that is main problem

I have 2.0 tdi 150 2015 year , l think is from 2013 - 2017 with silica bag but not sure 100% ​@@AC-db4ek

[@dino30ma]

On my car l remove clamp behind engine (its tight but i can be done) where hose goes trough firewall to small radiator(which usual clogs with silikat bag) and discharge coolant hoses First flush everything than put radiator cleaner flush again And last put g12 evo coolant .

Timing belt replacement intervals are 210kkms for diesels, 240k kms for petrols. Mine had 208 kms before replacement without any issues.

[@sheffield8184]

My water pump leaked at just over 80k but to be fair it was 3 year over vw replacement period so can't really complain apart from that's its been fine

[@gofres]

I've owned my 2016 GTD for about 6 months and noticed it's used about 1l of oil in that time. Never had a car use oil before. Was worried that it's a problem but after a bit of reading, it seems normal for these engines. Bit annoying!

[@The_Touring_Jedi]

Just to get facts straight...if you change oil and do long trip with excesive speeds 150kmh+ if engine serviced properly even at 200.000km 2.0tdi with 150ps won't consume a drop. But...if you pressure that engine with last oil service done 10k ago be prepare to lose oil so check should be done weekly after 10k from last oil service especially if high speed is involved not city driving. These engines likes to eat oil but only after oil viscosity drops and this starts at 10-12.000km if pushed hard.

[@partizan5811]

Completely agree 👍🏼. I realize it only recently.

[@szamanisticrealistic2659]

thx that was very informative, been looking for this kind of info for months since I bought a 1.6 tdi 2016 golf

[@yopo654]

I got a Seat Leon 2.0 110kw, bought it second hand currently has 128.000km. The only problem I had so far was a failed water pump at 85000km and had to remove and pressure cleaned the dpf since i suspect the previous owner didnt drive the car enough to get it to operating temp. Other than that its a great and proper daily machine.

[@mshahid2898]

Hi did you do the timing belt yet?

[@yopo654]

I drive a 1.6 tdi 2019 octavia with 300.000km and have 0 issues with the engine. My colleague drives a 2020 Superb 2.0tdi with 200.000km and it has a big oil consumption issue. I guess the 1.6 tdi is a pristine engine.

[@dobrien757]

My dad has a 2019 Passat, 260000km very minimal oil consumption.

[@The_Touring_Jedi]

​@@dobrien757I have B8 with 110kw engine manual. 210k and no oil consumption. Only a slight between changes but that's only as I push it to 200kmh on German Autobahn. In this case it will take some oil but very minimal ammount.

[@adrianturi4433]

CUNA engine is an oil consumer

[@rysiucastro]

My 1.6 TDI had a colling system issue. It did not overheat, but lost coolant through the exhaust system. Leading to a 2000 euro repair, because the engine had to come out...

[@jackryan1748]

What about EGR related issues? My Ea288 DFEA 2.0 TDi has the P0140 low EGR flow fault at 85k miles…

[@ggysbers9810]

the bad rings were made in the Mexico plant. if your rings were made in Germany, you'll be fine. 280k miles on my EA288 and I don't burn or lose any oil (5w30 @ 504/507 spec). oh ya, and I still have my factory heater core and use G13. just plan on new timing belt & water pump every 100k miles. replace HPFP & main seal at 200k mi.

[@wakaflockaproject]

How do you find out if it's a Germany one

[@The_Touring_Jedi]

Start stop system is killing the timing belt. I have changed mine at 180.000km did not looked good. By the book it should be changed at 210k bit I would not wait that long. Next change will be at 280k. Car looks great and runs great no issue at 210k.

[@edvinasbumblys1584]

Hello, my 2.0 tdi 110kw. CRLB 280000km. When driving in normal mode (not autobam), the engine consumes 0.5 oil per 1000 km. After the oil change, 10 km were driven and 5 liters of oil was poured.... Just then I noticed that there was oil in the coolant tank (the engine was not overheated), the water pump is new, I don't think the oil cooler is leaking, I think it's related to the oil rings. .. :( Is it worth handling the engine or is it better to buy another one?

[@MartinTeerly]

[@diogomartins9749]

I have a 1.6tdi dbka engine and have some problems by now (295000km) radiator exploded due to the silica bag for g13, i drove around 1500km until the oil light come on, it's about 1L every 1500Km, and the glowplug with the cylinder pressure it's giving error and at cold weather the resistence light come on and says low oil pressure

[@vedranr3697]

I own a Golf 7 1.6 TDI with 340,000 km. I haven't had any problems until now, but it's time to change the crankshaft seal because it's leaking oil, but still a great car, a little slower engine unlike the 1.9 TDI, but it's ok for me. With the previous owner, the air conditioning evaporator and the heating radiator were changed both times, their drawback is that it loses coolant due to the water pump, but my model has never had any problems with this.

As per VW manual an oil consumption on diesel engines up to 1 litre every 1000km is normal. Especially if you drive alot on motorway at high speeds.

[@ErnasSernas-p8w]

The clearance on diesel valve is bigger than petrol hence consumption

Hello, recently I bought an Audi A3 8V 2.0 150hp 2014 I drove it to a mechanic and they checked everything except the coolant which of course after I check my notes I reassured myself to check on next inspection before buying. The car was driven about 50km so I couldn’t just opened the cap of the coolant and check so yeh. Long story short today I saw that the coolant has a brown not really clear color it doesn’t have any deposits in it and the substance is not muddy but it’s far from clear. So my question is what to do I took it to my mechanic and they’re gonna check it asap monday ( I bought the car Friday ) so you’re saying in the video if that colour occurs that we should run away from such examples. So should I contact the seller and get the car returned or should deal with that myself, what could be the possible outcomes of the situation money wise ?
