Just wondering how many of you have the CTH engine code and are you still drinking oil. I noticed on my rego that it's not a CAV engine code but the CTH and am unsure if they have lowered oil consumption yet?

Mine's a CTH but at around 1100km on the clock it's too early to tell. At this stage the oil level hasn't budged and I've not had any soot spotting. Wait and see I guess...Polo GTI MY13 (CTHE) | 5D | CW | Sunroof | DL Tint | VW Handy Adapter for iPhone 4/4S | DHL disabled

Anyone got what the exact specific differences are between the two? And why it changed?Polo GTI - 5 door - Candy White, Xenons, Comfort Package, Audio Upgrade, Bluetooth, Parking Sensors and TintComment

I think that the oil not budging in a new car by 1000km is a pretty good sign.Originally posted by AC74 View PostComment

I have the CTH engine. Too early to tell, only 400kmComment

I'm sure I saw it on here in another thread. Pretty sure it was a different part number for the piston and I presume the new crankshaft ventilator hose. Not sure what/if anything else.Originally posted by prcurrie View Post
As for why, I could only imagine it was motivated by the oil consumption issues experienced with the CAV engine...? Replacing pistons and in some cases entire engines under warranty would be a costly exercise for the manufacturer.Last edited by AC74; 25-01-2013, 12:02 PM.Polo GTI MY13 (CTHE) | 5D | CW | Sunroof | DL Tint | VW Handy Adapter for iPhone 4/4S | DHL disabled

Thanks for the reply's, guess we'll just have to wait and see how it pans out. Only 185km so far. Non stop raining just makes me not want to drive. And is going to continue for another 6-7 days......buzzkill.Comment
