1.4 TSI Oil Consumption

[Dale-T]

Hi there

Was wondering what quantity of oil is normal for putting into the 1.4 TSI engine as i've had to put 2 litres in the space of 6 weeks, driving 1500 miles

Would appreciate people's comments

Thanks
Dale

Well Seat say using a litre every 600 miles is acceptable. So sounds like yours is normal according to them. May be worth getting a test done and if your lucky they may try and resolve it for you.

There is a problem with oil use I would get it checked out pal

As Fozzy says there is a problem!! It's something to do with the twin charge! A mate had 1 two months and it blew up the engine coz of no oil. Just check it every couple of weeks or on long runs every week!

Take it back to dealer get them to sort it

Does the Seat not have a check oil light come on?

Yeh they do but when I checked mine when I got my car it took 3 litres and the warning light still wasn't on.

Did you buy new and how long after you got it did you check? If you bought new and checked just after I'd be taking it back to the dealers and asking them if they bothered checking it!

Take it back they will say drive 500 miles and bring it back.

Then they will change the engine

Iv being told they carnt do any thing because I didn't buy from a seat dealer.
I checked it about a month after I bought it, a mate warned me. I just check it every couple of weeks and top it up accordingly now.

had about the same problem and Seat changed my piston rings, seems much better now.

I believe the oil light is to do with low oil pressure. Therefore will not come on until the car has nearly ran out of oil.

Mines goes in next monday for its second service. Along with that the oil consumption will be checked from then. They will weigh it then get me to drive some miles then re weigh it then if its excessive according to them, they will do the rings etc..

[adamb87]

Yup always carry a 1litre bottle in the boot just in case, although my consumption is not as bad as other ones.

Nope, mate of mine with an FRs ran totally dry(unsure how long for, but it was an after he checked/put oil in that it blew up quiet literally) with no warning what-so-ever

Take it back they will say drive 5600 miles and bring it back.

Then they will change the engine

Hey Dale, at that rate, it does just sound in SEATS limits- but there limits are appaling. Get it checked out, do a quick search on here and print out the many people that have had the same issue.

My oil consumpstion has been much better than seats minimum.

Hope you get it sorted mate.
