Hi,
I have a 2001 Golf 1.8T estate that has done 82000 miles.
Oil consumption has been negligible between services until last September when it is now consuming about 1 litre per 1000 miles.
I guess I want some idea if this is normal, might it stabilise at that or is it likely on a steep roll downhill?
Thanks for any input :confused:

That says to me the turbo is on the way out, that level of consumption will also damage both lambda sensors and the catalyst.

Did not think it would be good news:(
