Your problem is VERY common on the 1.4 engines, you could try thicker oil, but will probably fail on emisions at your next MOT if your burning that much oil. Keep it topped up as you fill probably blow it up if it runs dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty_82 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 21 mile sand you have emptied it of oil , im certain you would be kicking loads of blue smoke, are you sure your sump hasnt cracked . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiea7x Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 If ur empty after that many miles I'd be looking t a leak because at that rate ur using more oil than petrol.. And you would definately see very big plooms of blue smoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veedubs! Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 there is no smoke coming out the back i have spoke to moggytech and he sed it could well be me piston rings cheers for the feedback people much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper_GTI Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 If the oil is making its way past the rings and into the combustion chamber you would certainly notice black/blue smoke when driving, as the only place for the oil to go is back out the exhaust valves after it has been burnt.Get somoone to follow you down the road while you give it hell through the gears. If there is no smoke, i would think that the rings would be okay.As said, check for oil leaks. Get the car warm, then park it on a nice flat, smooth, clean surface, leave it to cool down for a few hours and see if there are any splodges of oil on the road/driveway.Also, see what your inlet system is like in terms of cleanliness. Clean out any potentially blocked breathers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
