Hi - will do - I’ll check out the IC pipe at some point in the near future- in the meantime- I’ve done over 500 miles and no oil light has come on - looking at the dipstick it is down a little - maybe using 0.5 Litres per 500 miles - which I think is fairly normal for the GTI engine - much...

Update- just done around 90 miles or so - dipstick is still showing at the top - so I’m hopeful that my oil consumption has improved- previously it used around 0,5 litres per 130 miles so I’m keeping my fingers crossed …

I’ve changed the PCV valve - haven’t done many miles as yet but will know in 2 or 3 days whether the oil consumption is any better

Update- I bit the bullet and decided just to go ahead and replace the PCV valve system - I’ll find out in a few days whether this has made any difference to the oil consumption

Cheers- I’ll try this .

I’ve worked out that you’re referring to to the inter cooler cold pipe - I’ll have a go at finding it

Thanks for your suggestion- I’m showing my ignorance of the VW engine but what is the IC and where is it? - I know where the PCV valve assembly is fitted so presumably one pipe connected to this ? Cheers

Would a normal compression test on the x4 cylinders give me worthwhile info ?
