VW service found, that my engine had old type of pistons and no extra oil jets in block. So my pistons were cracked because of overheating???? No chip, just OEM engine, only air filter and TBE. Also my pistons were overloaded by carbon...26k on the clock.....((

Re: 6R GTI 1.4 Oil Usage Poll
I'm taking my 2012 GTi (CAVE) with 23,000 miles on the clock back into VW for the second part of the oil test. Oil light came on again yesterday having done 700 miles. Will be interesting to see how the garage deals with this and whether they will just replace parts or engine
