EA888 engine oil level LOW!
It's been 4 months of owner of EA888 Gen 1 Scirocco. The drive experience is amazing. However, I experience lost of engine oil. It's been 4000 km, I needed to top up the engine oil three times. The second time I went to the dealer, the dealer topped up the oil for me, approximately 1 litre, and replaced PCV for me as they believed that this caused the fault. After running for 1,500 km, the engine level light flashed again. The dip stick showed is at the minimum level. I'm really curious what is happening. I do recognise that this EA888 engine consumes engine oil like 5000 km per litre. 1500km per litre is just little bit too much.

Re: EA888 engine oil level LOW!
anyone experienced this problem? I went through A5OC and found similar problems to mine, but the engine is EA888 Gen2. Anyone with ea888 gen1 having this problem?

Pretty sure VW would say that is within normal usage limits.

the limit is 2000 km per litre according to the service manual. In this case, VW probably can't refuse
