switch to a 5/40 oil and it drops to about 700mL every 5000k, I generally change oil when the warning of low oil comes up as it's close enough to 5000km or right on 5000km, I have done about 150k...
as soon as the GTI was out of warranty I went with Pennrite 10/10 5/40 and never looked back, it asks for 600mL every 5000km which is fair

Oh I do the usual Mnt Nebo runs where it pretty much stays in 2nd and 3rd above 5000RPM most of the time but that is not the problem....it's the inherent problem with DI without another set of...
rems are crap
stock brakes on the GTI are not bad, did quite a few Mnt Nebo runs and by the bottom of it they start to fade quite bad but on the street they never fade if you really want better...
I think it's brown because I used water for about a week, the low coolant light comes on after 20km if you fill the tank.
No need for intake cleaner with the Africa plate, it basically bypasses...
So when I did my 60k service (i try to do it every 5k) i noticed the water level was quite low so I was expecting the pump to let go, within 4k it did so ordered a new one from US, decided to order...
