    It will not help. You read and the problem of the vw group are seized rings. And when the head is taken off, it's close to the rings. Do you want to pay for the work again later? skilled workers "oil.

    I read, and 550 is the price for replacing the seals without removing the head. This is a proposal from a workshop where I put on gas (which I am happy with at the moment). I do not want to pay twice, I thought that you could start with sealants, and if it does not help, then you should start everything (and then the sealants would be done).

    Finally understand that in the vw group, rings are the main problem, sealers are done by the way.

    Hi, I am also. I own an A3 8l 1.6 petrol. If you have LPG you need to remember that gas is dry and will take oil. It would be good if you could switch to Valvoline 10w/40 oil + engine chemistry. I did that and it is better with the unfortunate oil draw. But for sure you probably have rings to change. Sometimes the oil additive helps and sometimes it doesn't.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around an Audi A3 8P 1.6 (2004) experiencing excessive oil consumption, reportedly consuming 2 liters of oil per 1000 km, particularly after the installation of an LPG system. Users speculate on potential causes, including worn piston rings and head gasket issues. Compression measurement is suggested as a diagnostic tool, although access complications due to the LPG installation are noted. Recommendations include replacing the oil scraper rings, considering the engine's wear, and possibly overhauling the engine if necessary. Users also discuss oil types, suggesting a switch to 10w50 for better performance. The consensus indicates that the problem will worsen if not addressed, potentially leading to more costly repairs.
