Yes. 1 coolant tank per 100kms. Oil.. About 1l per tank.

When our water pump went it was about the same water loss as yours , can't help with the oil though .

Anyone have any info regarding the likelihood of this occurring if you have the engine suffix C? Is it 100%?? meaning potentially all auto/manuals 2010+ until the Ds came in will eventually have this issue at 100,000+ kms?
Cheers

Just got a call from dealer seller that they are refusing my claim to have my car fixed under warranty! Any suggestions?
Had my egr blanked off, both inlet and outlet side, will report if my oil consumption changes.

- Oil consumption no different with egr blanked after 1K ��

Did they advise grounds for rejecting the claim? Assuming there is a statutory warranty, off to your fair trading people?

Cheers

Hi mtwem, mine 2012 C suffix, egr info plate date 2015, must must have been replaced as van 2012 can’t be original, consuming 2L+/1000km

Hi George, I am corresponding with Fair Trade nsw, if no result then ACCC, the dealer said no warranty cause normal ware n tare !

2 litres per 1000 is a bit too much in my opinion , normal wear and tear is a typical response . if you have ever seen the movie The Rainmaker its an insurance company ploy , deny deny until you give up . Get onto their Face Book page and start hounding them , I spent two years giving them heaps until it got them to respond in the positive .

Well, mine's a CAAC engine (MY12) and it doesn't use any oil between 15k changes and I'm just under 430k now.

What does the s engine codes mean ? CFCA, CFCO, CAAC etc ?

That's a question I've been wondering about for years!
Considering they're all made from the same block (I think).

Found this.........

CAAA 84bhp
CAAB 102bhp
CAAC 140bhp
CCHA 140bhp
CFCA 180bhp

I Believe it is the CFCA with the twin turbo that has been giving a lot people grief

If you dont mind me asking, what oil are you using Logic?

I have the CAAC, and also understand this issue to be related to the twin turbo perhaps as a result of the extra heat. I do wonder if it is worth upgrading my EGR to a D version for piece of mind though. Are there many reports of oil use issues with sigle turbo engines running earlier revisions of the EGR? (EG A, B, C)

I think the issue was the egr cooler that was used on the cfca being a poorer material. Thus breaking down and sending shrapnel through the cylinders.

I get a bit of oil in the turbo hose but nothing excessive.
I have started wondering how long these turbos last given I'm well over 400k now.
