My Passat 132TSI is over 8 years old and has done 70K.I am getting a slight shudder on the accelerator while moving off from rest. The fuel consumption gauge hits its max value of 20L/100 km while moving off and slowly it drops to sensible range after doing about 10KM plus but still seems to hover around...

Hey all,

Picked up a 2018 Highline 162tsi allspace recently.

Lovely car by all means, but the fuel consumption is abysmal? I’ve taken it to VW since it was still under warranty but they brushed it off and said car is perfect.

I’ve been getting 350-400km...

Hello

I'm a bit concerned about my fuel consumption and wondered (a) whether it's normal and (b) whether I can improve it.

My 2015 Octavia 1.4TSI 7 speed DSG liftback got 5.5 l/100km on the highway and 6.5 combined.

My 2015 Octavia Scout 1.8TSI 6 speed DSG/4x4...

Hi guys, just clocked 13K and finally decided to top up engine oil, no warning light came up or anything , it took half liter which i think is pretty good as i have heard form others that VW's can be very thirsty for oil. So just wandering what oil consumption do you guys see with your cars.

Had the car booked in for oil consumption test at the commercial dealer in the city for first thing Tuesday morning, after three hours waiting I was told that they first have to fix every small oil leak first, so rocker cover and main end, after another two hours waiting they quoted $3000 😱...

Hi Everyone,
I've recently bought this car and had it serviced, new tires, oil, filters, A/C, ESP sensors, CV shaft!
Spent around 2K just fixing the car, I am happy with the way it drives but fuel consumption is extra ordinarily high

I was reading about the possible issues...

It is a 2010 118TSI with around 130,000 kms on the clock. Have felt oil consumption was always high but this is the first time I did the numbers and it is doing about 2000 kms to one litre of the 5w30. Is this within the normal range? It has been going good in all respects. Thanks in advance for your...
