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.

    If it burns oil put something thicker in !
    The S3 burns 10w30 but is fine with 15w40 !

    I dont recommend long life servicing so forget about it . The oil is $$$ and hard to get , ends up costing the same as regular servicing

      My vr used to drink oil so i changed to 10/40 Motul 4100 oil. Has been much better since.

        mm my car seems to have slurped a litre since the last oil change..

        doesn't seem worthwhile bothering changing to a more expensive oil - i'm happy to just top up every once in a while.

          I agree with TIM.my vr6 used to drink about 500-1000ml every 5000kms,but I used to thrash it HARD! ! never less than 4000rpm.I used to change the oil every 5000kms and filter every 2nd change.motor worked like a quartz watch.coolant was never a problem though.
          edit.. I thrashed it from new and serviced regularly, h100vw you are right.I didnt believe it when a mate told me to do it before I bought my VR6 but after I bought it I just fell in love with the ballsy sound of the vr
