New Roomster...

[dimadee]

Been a VAG fan for a while - my daily driver is a '99 Audi TT Quattro with a stage 2 tune and a couple of other bits ;-)

Anyway, I picked up a new Roomster for my wife on 1st July. White with a black roof, 5 speed manual, MDI, Rear Park Assist, Privacy Glass & Climate Control. It really is a nice drive, with the fuel economy hovering around 7.4 l/100km. Great price as well, so big smiles all round! Bought it from Frankston Skoda, and must say that John was super easy to deal with, and gave us a greta deal.

My biggest concern is the oil consumption with the 1.2 TSI engine. I get the feeling that it is a bit hit and miss with the TSI engines.

Just wondering how common (& severe) oil consumption issues actually are with the 1.2 TSI?

A mate has the 1.2TSI in his Polo. No oil usage.

It was a demo with 2000km when he bought it. Knowing his driving style he would have run it in with vigour but not thrashed it.

Is it actually using oil old mate? It will need a "spirited" run in......

So far it hasn't used a drop.

I have been exposing it to Tim's acellerated run in process...been loading it up a bit at low rpm and also letting it gently express itself by singing :-)
