James827 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 is your oil level dropping? as you could be burning oil, this is quite common on these engines, you could try a slightly thicker oil (i don't know the correct grade sorry) if its still using oil with the thicker stuff then id get a garage to do a Compression leakage test for you, this way you can find out if you have a problem with your valve stem seals or piston rings. go from there really. if my seals or rings were boned then id change them myself and only pay parts. Labour is the killer for these jobs as they are quite intricate and require special tools. Also, pictures require Photobucket or something like that (i use Photobucket) upload them there and copy the IMG code and then bobs your uncle, And fanny's your aunt.

lupoluke Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Worn valve stem seals will mostly likely be the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Have you had it serviced then?Change your coil pack/leads/plugs to solve the misfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Mine's the same, I cleaned out the EGR valve which improved it but it's still burning oil, though I went up to 10W40 & it's slowed down massively**the oil consumption, not the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defcon5 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 A litre in 2000 miles isn't too bad. What oil is in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
