One thing to consider perhaps is that a certain amount diesel will be making its way into the oil with the DPF regenerations, this increasing the oil level. I have seen in certain instances the oil level is going up rather than down.
I’m @12k miles into ownership of a ’16 GTD. So far I’m averaging ~220mL of oil added per 1000 miles but the figures vary. Whenever I check the oil and it’s a bit low on the dipstick I add 200 or 400mL of oil to top it up. I was surprised that this diesel used any oil as my Mk4 GT Tdi 130 took 4.5L at an oil change and I never had to add any before the next change. The 0.5L leftovers just kept adding up. On my car, 220mL per 1000 miles is about ~2L for a long life interval and ~1L for standard interval so you do need to have additional oil in between oil changes. I use Quantum. So, in my experience ‘old’ diesels didn’t use oil and new ones do. I think the reason is to do with the ‘low pressure’ piston rings that modern diesels have. I’m no expert but this is common on Toyotas, too with newer ones burning oil where older ones don’t. The lower pressure piston rings (maybe the oil control ring) seemingly allow the engine to spin more freely and with less drag (if it’s the same as a Toyota). Not familiar with reading oil level when warm. I always do mine when cold. You can also read the level with VCDS. I think 60mm is full via that system, but don’t quote me.
I always find that if I top up to the high level mark the car’s performance seems to be affected, slightly less responsive…. but at mid level it’s back to its best.
The maintenance sheets when servicing cars with these engines says the oil capacity is 4.7L, sometimes they might take a couple of 100ml more in my experience. My dad owns a 16 plate Octavia vRS with the same engine. He's noticed oil usage in his ownership but he covers around 20k-30k a year, before he owned the car I believe it was on flexible servicing intervals but now is on fixed 9400 miles or 1 year intervals.
Hey guys I´m Jacob from Slovakia and I have Golf Variant GTD 2016 with engine code CUNA, manual transmition. I bought it from my friend and he had it since new. He changes oil every 10 000km (approx. 6 200 miles). Engine oil only Castrol Edge 5W30. I have it approx. 4 years and when I bought it it had approx. 100 900km (approx. 62 695 miles). Now he has approx. 120 000km (approx. 74 565 miles) and I also chanes engine oil every 10 000km, I dont rev the engine if the oil is less than 80 degrees, I drive long distances, every time I park the car I let the engine idle for about 5 minutes to cool down. I did this on every car and it always worked out for me. I work as a salesman for new VW vehicles and I also drive new ones which I always break in and do exactly the same thing and without having to add oil to the engine. I don't fill the oil to the maximum, always 3/4, of course when I go to the mountains with my bikes on a trailer and a full car where I heat the oil to 115 degrees, a little oil in the engine will decrease here and there, but not more than 200 milliliters.
I'm glad to find this video, I'm using 7.5 gtd for like 2 years. With mix driving style. City 50% , fast roads 200kmh + and vacation 130-160kmh at 900 kilometers. Till yet not a single warning for the check oil. The level on the stick was lower but my garage ground goes up , on the flat surface was it middle of the stick and now its time to make service again cause every 10.000 kilometers I'm doing it , sometimes earlier depends on free time and prices. Same oil as yours on this vid. It says every 30.000 km but I'm doing every 10 and till yet Safe. the car is doing every 400-500 kilometers dpf regeneration 😅 with city driving. Idk last time in my homeland they said when putting oil , put it to the middle from the stick like in the middle from cooling bottle min - max 😅
My understanding is these use oil because there is a trade off between oil and fuel consumption due to the piston rings being slightly undersized compared to optimal. This means less friction in the bore and high mpg. The trade being oil gets burnt. I have a 24 yr old car by another manufacturer which uses no oil but does ave 28mpg. My VAG Cuna tdi uses some, and has since new, but does ave 60mpg.
My 2014 Gtd did use oil and a lot of it. Periodically the oil light would light up. VW never admitted this but always offered to top up free of charge. I obviously had to carry a bottle in the car and every time it complained, I used to fill aprox a liter. Eventually sold the car with 100k km and the oil issue was the single reason why I didn’t keep the car long term, as loved everything else. More recently someone at the VW dealer and service centre told me that there was a big batch of those engines with sealing ring problems but VW never acknowledged due to large implications and cost.
You should look into removing the selica bag from your coolant expansion tank as it can burst and block the heater matrix, if you take the lid off you can see it if not you need to replace the expansion tank as some tanks it’s not possible to take it out
Even the old 1.9 engines were the same, i had a touran for 7 years and that used to go from max to min within 6 months which was bang on half a litre in that.. it never got any better or worse and wasnt too concerned about topping up in between oil changes.
From what I've read, the oil rings on the pistons get blocked easily on these engines, causing them not to seal properly and so letting oil into the combustion chamber..
Im puttin an average of 2,000 miles per month on my 7.5 and its using a little drop as its asked for the oil to be topped up twice between services in the past two years. I will point out that both times it asked for a top up I had been driving it with plenty of passion but im well over that phase now and its never looked for a drop since. If you drive any car hard it will use more oil like it uses more fuel!
Glad I watched this clip & looked at the comments I’ve got a mk7.5 GTD & warning came up to check oil put 500 mil in at the start didn’t want over fill then light came on 2 weeks later put another 500 mil in where it’s almost at the top of the dipstick. Got the car booked in at my local dealer for the end of the month but from what I’ve read on here & other VAG diesel pages seems like it’s common
I have Skoda Octavia 2018 1.6 diesel.After service takes about 13-15 thousand kilometres when 0.5 liters oli ad take up max level.169 000km or 100 000 miles driven car.But next 10 000km oil level drops 0.5 liter.And then is change time
Hey, good topic for a video. I think you have been one of the lucky ones with that level of consumption. I have 2015 Octavia vrs with 184hp engine and it’s burning about 1 litre every 2,000 km. still drives well and engine feels strong BUT it’s doing dpf regens more and more frequently, pretty much every journey or 2nd journey it’s doing one now. Same as other commenters on here, I’ve read that it’s poor piston ring design, so it’s burning oil in cylinder, and making more soot which ends up in dpf. Worried that I’m facing a big bill sometime soon for dpf replacement. My wife’s 2011 150hp tdi Octavia doesn’t burn a drop of oil by way of comparison. Both cars are owned since new and serviced bang on 15k km every time, so they were not mistreated. VRs has 187k kms on it now
Hi and thanks for your comment. Interesting for you to be able to compare yours and your wife's car. Mine is one of the better ones undoubtedly, phew! As you say, very likely the rings at fault. Not good re the dpf and hope you are doing some long journeys to help.
My 2016 Scirocco, same engine as used in some of the GTDs, recently started to use oil, all of a sudden. 65k miles.I used Liqui Moly engine flush and it has been gradually improving since. My theory is that the piston rings gum up, allowing oil up in to the chamber but not to drain back.
I have a few Korean friends in Korea who drive GTDs, and they say that the oil is reduced every 5,000~8,000 kilometres, so they carry a 1L bottle of oil to make up the difference. Roughly speaking, their cars are 2014 or newer, and they are 7th gen. (7.5 gen was never released in Korea because of emissions scandal).
Oh, I see, many GTD fans in Korea are still in love with the GTD despite the oil problem, and many of them install the 7th generation headlights on their 7th generation because they like the design of the 7.5 headlights and the taillights, but they do so despite the hassle of having to remove them again and install the 7th generation lights when the car is inspected every two years. Another interesting thing is that almost all cars in Korea are automatic transmissions, and manual transmissions are rarely used. Currently, the percentage of new cars sold in Korea with manual transmissions is said to be around 1%. The manual gearbox in your GTD looks great.
Bought my TDI vRS 3 months ago and after a month of driving went got the low oil light. Serviced it with LiquiMoly 4200 TopTec, and added the CeraTec additive. Not a drop burnt now in two months, just had it mapped by REVO and still the same. Managed to get 5.95 seconds 0-60 (GPS) so WELL worth a map.
@@mikereports It makes an incredible difference. I look over a number of 0-60 videos on UA-cam but I dont know how, the REVO map feels faster than all the other maps I've seen on UA-cam. Absolutely flies
Skoda vrs tdi sore on oil too about a litre every 1600 miles and every cylinder pressure tests fine its the oil control rings carbon up and stay stuck to piston
My Da had a 2014 model and he was putting a litre in per week. My sister and i both have 2016 models and hers was needing oil every few weeks where as mine i used 4 litres within a year of owning it and it had been serviced twice in that time. Idk if it depend on the engine or the way its been driven but i do alot of short journeys put they would be lively journeys if ya get me compared to my sister 🤷🏻
i have a seat leon fr st it has the gtd engine 184hp stock and mine eats oil it is modified it has a stage 2 remap and a down pipe custom exhaust with a back box delete so i know its going to be much worse for me but i have to put 1ltr in every 3-4km if im lucky
I'm here because our 184 a3 sline is using oil which I wouldn't have expected in a modern IC engine. By comparison our, 335d f30 bmw doesn't use a drop of oil between services.
Hi there, thanks for the video very informative and I have subscribed. I have a mk7 GTD 2016 pre facelift exactly same spec as your car, lovely colour! My GTD uses the exact same oil amount as yours, and mine is remapped by Darkside developments. After this video I feel reassured. Thank you!
Fantastic! Good to know you have similar consumption. It’s one of the reasons I put this video together - to find out how GTD’s compare. Thanks for watching.
My 2016 with 50k miles burns around 1l/5-6000 miles. Never had a car burn oil before so this is new to me. Car runs well otherwise. Had to replace window switches and sealed the speakers while I was there. Rear drain plug broke and was leaking water into the boot. Usual stuff for this car. Annoying but cheap and easy fixes. Great car other wise and I much prefer it to my 2017 320d msport
Seems to be very common. I've also heard about the leak into the boot, such an odd one, but glad you've got it fixed. M Sport's are a rough old ride I find.
I’ve got a VW Golf GT 2.0 tdi 2014 had from new 95,000 on clock and never burn any oil. I change oil every year and it will still be on the max mark. Mainly use on motorway M5 ❤
Got a gtd 2017 with some mods( hybrid, downpipe, mrc tuning , 255hp manual) and i keep the oil service no more then 8 -10k per year. Driving like a normal person it consumes maximum 1L of 5w40 motul.
what temp does anyones GTD oil run at? ive noticed mine goes up fairly quickly form normal driving well into the 100's and even saw 120 celcius on there on the motorway. is this concerning?
Do you ever put V power diesel or equivalent into your tank? I’ve had the car 6 months, 64 plate. I Only fuel up from shell or texaco. And noticed V power; the car feels smoother & faster. Good for the engine. Although very expensive in today’s economy.
@@mikereports ever had a heating fault? My car is blowing cold air out of the far right vents but the left two are working fine. Apparently it’s a common fault on these gtds
@AX91Z So far no problems. It could be a multitude of things causing your issue. Search for "Climate Flap Reset" if you haven't tried that already. It's worth a go if you want to. Let us know how you get on.
Hello what is yours common rpm for going in next gear? Also what is you're engine code? I can't find vw diesel engine 184 hp modification code, also do you connect diagnostics? I heard that these engines like to overheat
Not had any overheating problems. The silica bag is the thing to watch out for if you search this. No idea on engine code and I change up gently, so don't thrash the car, but give it some mid-range. Never hit the red.
@@AX91X Hmm, difficult to say. It depends on you're driving conditions. Have you looked at the factory recommendations - usually inside the driver's door. Mine shows 44psi for 4 passengers and if it was me, I'd probably go somewhere between 40 and 42, but try it out. Hope that helps :)
Also mine burned but i had the turbo new and know it burns about 1 liter for 2000-2500 km , but for me it seems a lot , but the mechanics says for gtd is ok …
My golf gtd is burning oil like every single 2.0tdi 184hp Audi q3 with has 34k miles is smoking more oil then golf , Skoda kodiaq 2.0tdi 150hp is not smoking oil with for mi is surprise my old a4 b8 2.0tdi 143hp is the best no oil consumption and before remap shows 165hp car has now around 176k so it is lottery.
One thing to consider perhaps is that a certain amount diesel will be making its way into the oil with the DPF regenerations, this increasing the oil level. I have seen in certain instances the oil level is going up rather than down.
I've found this with failed regenerations
I’m @12k miles into ownership of a ’16 GTD. So far I’m averaging ~220mL of oil added per 1000 miles but the figures vary.

@AX91Z So far no problems. It could be a multitude of things causing your issue. Search for "Climate Flap Reset" if you haven't tried that already. It's worth a go if you want to. Let us know how you get on.
@@mikereports tried it mate. It’s worked. Unreal! Thanks.
@@AX91X Superb!
Excellent 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Hello what is yours common rpm for going in next gear? Also what is you're engine code? I can't find vw diesel engine 184 hp modification code, also do you connect diagnostics? I heard that these engines like to overheat
Not had any overheating problems. The silica bag is the thing to watch out for if you search this. No idea on engine code and I change up gently, so don't thrash the car, but give it some mid-range. Never hit the red.
@@mikereports Thank yooou, i want to buy golf like yours there is not to much info about it

What do you set your tyre pressure as? What number.. i have experimented with different numbers but what do you feel is best?
For me (usually only 2 people in the car max) I like 35psi. It takes the sting out of the potholes and feels a bit smoother.
@@mikereports i have around 2-4 passengers on a daily. What would you recommend my tyres to be set at pal
@@AX91X Hmm, difficult to say. It depends on you're driving conditions. Have you looked at the factory recommendations - usually inside the driver's door. Mine shows 44psi for 4 passengers and if it was me, I'd probably go somewhere between 40 and 42, but try it out. Hope that helps :)
@@mikereports wow, i always had the misconception anything above 34/35 is too high. Ill give 42 a go based on your recommendation.
Suggested pressures are on a sticker that's hidden when the driver's door is closed. HTH
Same car 2015 gtd, Mine are burning about 1 liter per 1000km
Seems like a lot.
My leon fr 184, 1 liter per 1000km, the problem is in the piston rings. Faulty, the last ref in vw is different.
Also mine burned but i had the turbo new and know it burns about 1 liter for 2000-2500 km , but for me it seems a lot , but the mechanics says for gtd is ok …
It's nothing! My former Audi A4 B2 2.0ALT burned 1 liter oil per 150km. One of those perfect VW/Audi-pieces of engineering...
I've had worse too and glad this one is so far being kind to me. Thanks for watching.
Hi guys i am using truck oil 5w30 in all.my cars 😊😊
Same in the wife's audi tdi 184 bhp
Good to know, thank you.
which oil do you use
Castrol Edge
Try Motul specific 5w30
Water level looked empty
You’re right, it was - good spot 👍
Yeah a litre every 600 miles 🤣
You should get into the ASMR business 😁
You're not the first to say that 🤔
@@mikereports 👌
My golf gtd is burning oil like every single 2.0tdi 184hp Audi q3 with has 34k miles is smoking more oil then golf , Skoda kodiaq 2.0tdi 150hp is not smoking oil with for mi is surprise my old a4 b8 2.0tdi 143hp is the best no oil consumption and before remap shows 165hp car has now around 176k so it is lottery.
D
I’m going to do a 6 month update on this soon.
@@mikereports ok good luck
Thanks for helping me sleep such a boring video i feel asleep
