And how long ago did you add the quart, mile wise? Do you check your oil levels regularly ? :notsure: if VW has the electronic checker ala audi.
Literally nobody does this.

Roughly in the neighborhood of 200 miles I believe. I told rudy about dat and dat via text, so I'll scroll up and see that I can give a more accurate answer to that.
Intersting I wonder what happened, usually these things burn around 1 quart every 5k, it should not have been bone dry enough to cause issues.
Yea definitely points to some other issue.

How HARD IS IT TO POST THIS HERE . :lol:


How many miles were on the oil when you ran her dry?
Omahgahh :dillerman: slipped an extended service contract in there to profit off his talking wallet ass and ended up saving his ass.

:impressive:
Lol pretty much. But opted for it. We discussed about how long I plan on keeping the car, and how much I drive per year, so at the time, I responded 15k (i usually average 17-18k a year). They decided to warranty me till then. So yeah, that was pure :alpo: luck

Also I don’t go to that diller anymore, caused they quoted me twice as much as my current go to diller for my dsg service.

FWIW I asked the SA what happened when i picked up my GTI from oil change. He said “too long of an interval between oil change.”

:notsure:
I’m also aware as far as say if it hadn’t been reached 10k in a year, it should be changed. But that may have to do with rapid temp changes throughout my last interval, and the car sat for over a month.

And i still have my invoice for last interval.

Unless you have a terrible leak having it stand around doesn’t do much

Since we're talking about recent :turboyaris: service appointments, I realize I never updated about mine a few weeks ago. Got my 60k done at 63k. Also had a small sunroof issue fixed :triggered: and the probable :bs: carbon treatment. I know I'm probably :wrong: but my butt dyno says the car runs somewhat smoother and is definitely smoother upon takeoff with my slight hesitation issue about 80-90% eliminated. Butt dyno also says it pulls stronger above 4k rpms. Then again, I got new plugs so maybe that's the reason? :iono:

Also, got a loaner Passat with no hassle.

That's a $1500 service on a $6K car Ron.

:wat:
It was $650 :bruh:

It's 8 years old next month and I plan on keeping it for a few more years. It's been damn good to me overall and this was not an excessive amount to pay, imo.

BTW, I also had them check my water pump and it passed a pressure test. :fuckyeah:
