Mine left the factory in June - after the initial 1 litre top up its not used a drop and now on 5k miles.
Looks promising?

I have no idea - someone on here said it was old engine, but not sure how they knew. it is running fine though and now no burn at all (fingers crossed it stays like that!) Was built late May/Early June.

Its a tricky one - i have a way out as leasing with a final payment and its mine so if it turns out to be a dog can reject it and walk away. fine so far.

I sent a message to my dealer yesterday about the fix but nothing back yet. I will phone up in the next day or so if no response.

Sounds good! I was midly worried when it used oil in the first 2k miles - but seems ok now :) Hope everyone gets theirs sorted quickly. I see a lot are coming up for sale recently.

Yeah it's insane. When I was looking for the GTI I also looked at the used ones. Not a single one here in the Netherlands.

Now, a year later, the market is flooded with used Polo 6R GTI's. Very new ones with not even a couple of thousand kilometres. Prices are insanely low.

Most people want to ditch it I quess!

They should try the phone ... Old fashioned I know.
One thing I find odd. If there is a fix and there is a genuine design fault why no proper recall?

Yes - agreed, they did say they would get back to me when they find out, but I know full well they won't. I get the impression that I am being a pain, and I only contact the dealer once a month! It's not good!

I know what you mean. I offended them by questioning the high oil consumption in the first month. Once they have your cash!...

Here in Italy at least a couple of GTI and another couple of A1 already received the oil separator modification + software update...
So far I was not able to have a pic of the modified part...


Of course those people are now under observation and they will perform an oil consumption test based on 1.000Km...
