No Logicpr0be! Moral is to not buy a 2011 VW Transporter with the wrong suffixed egr cooler. More info can be looked for using the facebook page
VW T5.1 / T6 EXCESSIVE OIL USE FOR CFCA 2.0....
Sounds like theres a few of us 2nd hand buyers who are getting this fixed OUT OF WARRANTY and under goodwill! This is great news...please write in this post if you have had similar success and how you went about it...cause it is so stressful finding a way around the issue!!

Facebook group, here you will find details on how to determine if you have the EGR COOLER which corrodes and destroys piston rings and allows the high oil consumption

Hi it is great to read your post.
I had oil issues from when I bought my T5 transporter x nsw ambulance at 55,000km. Took two years of being mucked about by Poysner Motors Bendigo and thousands of dollars despite them mentioning on day one that they had an internal memo for this very issue.
I finally tried another dealer, VW ballart in Victoria who were fantastic. VW paid for new engine and labour.
However VW Bendigo were so bad I’m taking them to VCAT in 3 July 2019 to get the $5500 that they wasted back. (That’s just for one service at 100,000 which they said would help! not including other costs, trips and time spent!)
There are VW internal memos for this issue TPI which I have the number of at home. It’s specifically for t5 I’m trying to find a copy for the VCAT hearing and any other stories that validate it from forums etc. So that there is evidence that the judge knows this is a known issue and faulty vehicle!!!
If anyone has info ASAP it would be appreciated

Hi Laney695, check this one out https://f01.justanswer.com/350matt/1...onsumption.pdf
is this the TPI?
does anyone here know how to identify faulty engine just by engine code/VIN?

I've finally had this looked at by VW dealer, and diagnosed as an engine failure requiring replacement. It is the 2.0TDI (twin turbo) and I've had the vehicle off the road for 4 out of 8 months now. BUT, I was called today and told that since the age of the vehicle (MY2011) and the kms (147k) they wont be able to help me with costs on replacement, I was told $13k just for the motor not including labour. I think I've been calm n responsive up until now, but reading here so many stories of first and second owners having their engines replaced, I'm not about to stand by and give VW my money for this fix. I've already logged a call with ACCC back in feb with initial cost concerns, I'll definitely follow this up but I'm not sure the small dealership I bought my van from are at fault here. Either way, I'm guessing it will all come back to VW to explain why they aren't honoring this case when they have already done so on many other vehicles...

Regardless of engine type, you certainly shouldn’t have these issues. If it was me, I’d certainly raised it up with the dealer and even VW AU.

I recently purchased my 2010 MY11 Multivan Highline from a family in Bendigo.
Funnily enough, car was getting its major service at Poysner Motors the week before I was going to go look at it!!!! Hows that for coincidence.....
Anyway, i commute 170km per day for work, and I'm currently using about 2L per 1000km. Took the oil filler cap off the other day while it was running, and there seemed to be a lot of blow by, so I'm very nervous. My mechanic will be looking at it next week, so we shall see.....

...good luck with your investigation. I'm still trying to get my head around what the difference is between the aforementioned CFCA engine and the CFC engine, which I have on my van. its shown the same type of wear/damage on cylinder walls and my oil use has been thru the roof.
can anyone shed some light on the difference between having that 'A' on that engine code...?

It will only increase power and engine life. All for the same price as replacing the EGR. Doing it just with the tune means they close the valve to the EGR (no blanking plates). This is also harder to detect. I could also blank the DPF with the same tune but would need to spend an extra $750 plus fitting for a DPF delete pipe. Apparently not all blankers are created equal...so DYOR
