Hey, i do have a question as my 2013 Leon 1.8 DSG started to increase the oil consumption quite a bit in my opinion. The car is on 183 000km on the clock and now for the last month or so it started burning around 400ml for the 800-1000km trip mainly on highway with 130-150km/h.
I do have installed a induction kit Ramair few months ago but I don’t this should affect right? At least not that much
previously i was checking the oil and topping it if needed every 5 000 km but now for every 800-1000km trip im getting low oil level on the dash… The oil i put is Bardhal X-tec 5w30 C3
 
Check the inside of the turbo intake, if there is a puddle of oil there, your PCV is torn.
I've replaced mine about 5 months ago, when my CJSA started to consume more oil too (but not so much as yours, about 500ml every 1200km), since then I hardly have any oil consumption anymore

That makes sense. I've been reading about the symptoms of a bad PCV, and I'm pretty sure this is the issue. I haven't opened the turbo intake to look, but the oil consumption and the squeaky sound when putting my foot down to accelerate tell me this should be the issue.
I've ordered a replacement PCV, and I’ll replace it this weekend. Hopefully, it will fix the oil consumption.
Thanks, Bluepower!
