2011 VW gti polo - have seen the numerous posts about high oil consumption and in 18000 Kms have used 6ltrs. It appeared to be getting worse, So friendly visit to the dealers for a planned oil consumption test revealed a hairline crack in the sump. Have no idea how this could have happened as there is plastic sump shield that covers the hole sump and is not scrapped and yet there is a clear crack on the sump. Guess what..... not covered under warranty and an $1800 repair. Anyone else had sump related issues. This followed very closely to the last issue which was the delaminaton of the clutch plates which was a warranty repair. Love the car but not very reliable............

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,
