hi everyone, forgive me as this question is not about a merc, but somone out there may know somthing ? my friend has a vw passat. 2.0 lit. tdi.140 bhp. sport. 55 plate. with 26,000 miles on the clock.
he is consuming a litre of oil every 1,000 miles ? it does not put out any pale blue smoke ? and he cannot see any signs of leakage on his driveway ?
somone has told him that the problem should resolve itself when he has clocked up 60,000 miles or more ?
i would assume this theory would be based on the build up of carbon etc. but why is there no signs of where the oil is going ?
any help much appreciated. herbiemercman.
