I do the oil change by myself, and I use Castrol Edge 5w-30, no blue smoke and no oiliness on exhaust, and between the 10k miles that I done since owning the car it always was like this... Never check the crankcase breathing system to be honest but I will!

Hello Miguel, Perhaps a couple of questions if you don't mind:- Have you actually been changing the oil yourself or getting oil changes done? If yourself, what brand of 5w30 have you been using? Are there any signs of blue smoke on acceleration, or evidence of any oiliness at the end of the exhaust? Has this oil burning suddenly occurred, or just gradually getting worse, and if so, over what period of time/mileage? Others more experienced than me with this particular engine will possibly discount this, but have you looked at and cleaned, the crankcase breathing system - if it has one- which I would have thought it has. Once we know a bit more, it might be worth changing the oil using the recommend grade which I would believe to be the 5/30 fully synthetic you are using, but using the Quantum brand which VAG recommend. I would invest a bit more and use their Longlife 3 grade. If it then still uses oil then I guess you could try a good quality 5w/40 fully synthetic oil and see what happens with that. Kind regards, Gareth.

Welcome to the forum Alex :) youll find the members on here are a friendly bunch and will help you where they can :) min unsure on the dimensions of the brake discs myself but I would certainly say they are vented. Cheers steve

If it were me I would use the recommended oil as per the handbook. I'm unsure if or what other oil you could use but I'm sure other members will be able to help :) cheers steve

I think your only option is to have the hole helicoiled now. I doubt you can go up a size in bolt?
