Wow does it. So actually I might be OK. Compared to a car that is still shocking, but I can handle that. Thanks for pointing that out. Might have a look for that now, haha.

Yep, it’s in the manual in the ‘filling the oil’ section. I guess it covers all engines too. They say it could be as much as a litre to a 1000km when the van is new
How can that be anywhere near be right. Shocking amount. With a remap mine goes like a rocket.
We had an old Mazda 323 - the boxy saloon shaped one back in the day. Inherited it when my Grandad passed. Took it from Leicester to Scotland and it used all its oil (well, it used enough for the dipstick to not register oil). Thing was you’d never know- literally no symptoms. Not smoky, didn’t loose power, hardly got any warmer. Didn’t even get a warning light, you just had to check in the morning before setting off and keep oil in the boot. It kept running like that until we sold it for a Ford Mondeo (shudder).
Looking for some advice, have the CXEB 204, 2017, bought it from Lookers VW, it has full service history, a new dpf when I got it, then a few weeks after getting it the egr went on it, replaced under warranty, it had 43000 on it, now currently on 54000, I have noticed it does use a bit of oil. I have recently returned from a 450mile trip 300 of that towing a caravan about 1900kg and I topped up about 250ml of oil, checked the app see photo, does the 33% mean how full the dpf is? Have been told by the garage the turbo is passing oil a bit, just not sure if the turbo is the problem or the engine. Any advice would be much appreciated, I am about to do an oil analysis on it.
Cheers
VW say (in the manual) it’s normal to use 1ltr to 2000km driven. Regardless of this, the only way to know if it’s the engine I believe is with an oil analysis. A place called Millers does this in the UK. I think that would tell you if it’s engine wear or not.
