![]() ![]() They have the numbers that are effected.īe aware though they told me mine wasn't the bad engine for 2 years until the management team and head technician changed and the new VW team at my dealer said it was the bad engine as it had the number they know is faulty. Mine went in again 2 weeks ago and has failed and been told a new engine block needed but you take all the old stuff of the knackered engine and put on new block ? This doesn't solve problem it just means you have another block which will do the same again after approx 30000 miles.įorgot to mention you may get a goodwill gesture for the block, 6.5k but you have to pay for all the work and new DPF and Cat converter and EGR flush on top, approx 7 5k.Ībsolute joke, get rid of your VW and buy a different make, as VW are shocking and won't admit this issue and do a recall.Ĭlick to expand.Go to a VW commercial dealer and ask them to check your engine number with VW warranty department. They weigh the oil going in, then after 621 miles or before, if light comes on, they drop the remaining oil out and weigh it again, very unreliable way to do hence VW now do it via the engines management system. The old consumption test was done manually, ie. After 2 x oil consumption tests and the EGR warning light coming on every other month, having new EGR valve pipes fitted top and bottom, engine oil and filters changed twice a year, many arguments regards this being the faulty engine that needs changing and being told for 2 years 'You dont have the bad engine' ? And it was within VW tolerance levels of oil usage, one litre per 621 miles, joke. I have been going back and forward to VW Breeze in Poole for 3 years now with the high oil usage issue. If your engine number ends with CXEB then your engine is one of the faulty engines, as mine is. I have the same issue with my 204 66 plate which still only has 47000 miles on clock. Obviously if the van has used so much over 160 miles, it won't complete the 600 needed for the consumption test, so its been left with the VW Workshop Controller to come up with a plan. To give you an idea of how thirsty the van is, after getting the van back from service I threw around 160 miles on it measuring the oil level before and after and well over half has been lost. It's also not down on power at all still pulls really well when compared to the hire van VW gave me.įinally got the van into VW last week who have been useless so far, asked them to do diagnostic and service on the van but they ended up not doing any diagnostic other than visual and just a service and handing it me back, saying I need to rebook for the Oil consumption test and the diag. The curve ball is that is has no smoke either idle or under load, and I've inspected for oil leaks at the top and bottom, it was on axle stands for a while for the wheels to be done so it was easy to get under and check after removing the protective under tray. I've only had my T6 204 T32 a few months and covered about 2000 miles but in that time its drank 5-6 litres of oil which I top up when the light comes on, at first thought the usage was normal from what I read on here till I hit the 3/4 litre mark. Hi, found a couple of post already regarding high usage on the 204 and some even leading to engine failure, has anyone got any experience with this I could ask for help? ![]()
