That's £4K less than what it should be, something stinks, bet its a Cat C or something.

My thoughts exactly, something not right.

Probably drinking oil like there's no tomorrow. There are serious issues with these engines and their oil consumption...

Well, the ad's gone, so I'm assuming it was a typo. If it were drinking oil, it should be sorted under warranty. First I've heard of the 1.4 Twincharger drinking oil though.

I've heard of a couple (fabias with same engine),Vw are aware and sort under warranty so that can't be the reason,probably a scam.

I'm a regular on UK-POLOS.net and there are quite a few people on there who are having issues with these. Work done under warranty doesn't seem to sort the problem in the majority of cases. Apparently a revised engine is in the pipeline with slightly larger piston rings...
