Hey all i have a Leon FR 184 Cuna and i am chasing oil use of 1L in 1300 miles,among other things i am about to replace the pcv valve and need to take a couple of injectors out,can anyone confirm that the torque for the replacement injector clamp bolt is 8nm plus 270 deg?........8 nm doesnt seem like a lot!
TIA............

Latest results,
I have done 1488 miles since the change to RP - and i'm currently around 66% on my dipstick - which is 0.23L/1000 miles vs around 0.28 for long term average (18% improvement), and around 1L per 4350 miles, vs 1L per 3500 long term ave.
I think a good improvement in a short distance. I will do an oil change around 4-5k miles and continue to monitor.

I've bought the RP but recently done an oil and filter change so it won't get done for a few more months. From what I read, it suggeted an oil and filter change after about 4000 miles to get the sludge and crud out and then rinse and repeat. How many miles do you plan to do before a change?

Ok, slight update, changed the pcv valve(was shot at), did the piston soak, had a slight delay putting it back together (don't ask!), small gentle run @ 20 miles with around 500ml of Berrymans still in the oil today and then dropped the oil, gonna refill with cheap oil today, do 1000 miles and see if there is any improvement in the oil consumption... I'm not willing to put in the expensive Valvoline RP unless I think I can do something about the oil use without resorting to engine rebuild /piston ring replacement because that's not an option.... I'll keep you posted! BTW SuperV8 that really does sound promising!

Fingers crossed for you. Interested to hear how your consumption fairs.

Similar mileage to you.

On the frequent regen issue, I am having the same issue.
Also having a lumpy idle so conected up the VCDS and discovered that I have a weeping injector.
New one should arrive in a couple of days so I'll report back with my findings.

Injectors can cause frequent regens due to producing more soot than expected.
Also check your O2 sensor - they have a finite life and are important feedback for the engine and also can impact soot loading and regen frequency. Recommended change interval from Bosch = 250,000 km

Thanks I'll check it once I've got the injector back, due this morning.

What's your oil consumption like?
How often is it doing a regen?
What's your average driving like/ miles per trip?

I've not had the car for long, maybe a month and done approx 700 miles since changing the oil.
Probably only used around 100ml of oil during that time so pretty happy with that.
It regens about every 30 miles or so which along with the lumpy idle led me to check the injectors.
I don't do many longer journeys than about 15 miles but always complete the regens once they start.
Hopefully once the injector is coded in and balanced I'll give it a run and see a difference.

Certinaly that injector wants looking at.
Keep a log of any oil you add - and at what mileage.
What's your differential pressure sensor pressure (mbar)after a regen?
