Because its using oil a lot, or because of Clutch plates? Are you getting another VAG vehicle ?2009 Skoda Superb Sedan - 3T ELEGANCE DSG FWD 7 Speed - 148kw 290nM (thank you Northside Eurpopean Mitchell ACT 02+ 6241 1111) 1.8 TSI...114,987kmComment

They topped up my oil again, and after 307km.. the oil light is back on..... the back of the car has a nice layer of black oil on it... I dont think there is any doubt that its a rebuild or replacement required. Was told unofficially that it could be 7-8k..... Used Car Warranty to the rescue! They asked me not to add oil, but to bring it back as soon as the oil light came on.. well it came on Friday night.. and now its a long weekend... doh!Last edited by ashmannnn; 24-01-2015, 10:56 AM.2009 Skoda Superb Sedan - 3T ELEGANCE DSG FWD 7 Speed - 148kw 290nM (thank you Northside Eurpopean Mitchell ACT 02+ 6241 1111) 1.8 TSI...114,987kmComment

There is either something very wrong with the engine or a substancial oil leak if your continually losing that much oil in such a short space of time.Comment

Checked in with Lennock Skoda today.. and after 611km, it was down by 1.7 litres of oil. They are speaking to Skoda about it and what their recommendations will be..... stay tuned... if you are not already bored with my story.2009 Skoda Superb Sedan - 3T ELEGANCE DSG FWD 7 Speed - 148kw 290nM (thank you Northside Eurpopean Mitchell ACT 02+ 6241 1111) 1.8 TSI...114,987kmComment

Quote for a rebuild from Skoda is in at $8951. The company that has to pay for it under warranty are starting to squirm... trying all sorts of ways to get out of it... even saying that my car has now done 5,200 km since they sold it to me and its not covered anymore. But I have proof that I started this process with Skoda dealer in late Dec - Early Jan when it had only done around 1,500 km... Also they are saying that can get it done cheaper in Melbourne, so they may want the car shipped back to Melb for repairs.... sounds like just one big nightmare............... ** sigh **

Hi notflyingscot.
Back on the road and all appears to be good... still full of oil after 1000 kms...2009 Skoda Superb Sedan - 3T ELEGANCE DSG FWD 7 Speed - 148kw 290nM (thank you Northside Eurpopean Mitchell ACT 02+ 6241 1111) 1.8 TSI...114,987kmComment

but sadly not full of oil after 5000km... needed a litre or so... rang the dealer... was told that i should expect a little oil usage before the first service... so does that also apply to a new car? Does a new car use a litre of oil before the first service? I dont think so... any one have any thoughts? I have emailed the dealer in writing with my concerns..... guess we will see at the first service...
