2013 VW Golf 7 - Gulping oil

Post by Jack Meyer »

Morning Guys, I hope I will be able to get some assistance.
My Golf 7 is now on 165 000 km and is using 1 liter of oil every 700 - 800 km.
There is smoke after I have decelerated on a down hill and accelerate again on the up hill.
There is no oil leak.
Where do I start Problem solving?
Everyone wants to charge me to remove the head to see what the problem is.
Any assistance will be appreciated.

Hi

Search on the forum, the subject has been covered in more details

Just to chime in, that's a common problem. Sold mine last year with similar symptoms as yours. It was on 170k+ km, 2013 Model. Car was driving fine but smoking when accelarating and oil consumption was just ridiculous.

But to reiterate its a common issue and VW knows about it.
