Can anyone suggest what to do to minimize burning oil in a 2010 1.8TSI VW Passat

Hello all. I'm a new member as well as a new VW owner. I have a 2000 Passat 2.8 GLX just rolled over 74,000 miles, and it has a pretty strong burnt oil smell in the cabin when recirculating air is not on. Oil level is fine, no oil drips in the driveway and I can not find the cause. Valve covers...

Hi, Had this passat less than a month and its used 3 quarts of Oil in 600 mile. This cannot be normal. Car runs fine and has no tell-tale signs of a problem. Clearly an problem internal to the engine. What can I do to attempt to locate the problem before it gets worse? Its a 2010 with...

I Purchased a new VW Passat 1.8T S in December 2015. After 4000 miles i got the oil level low light on so i took it back to the dealership where they indicated it probably wasnt topped up at the factory correctly so they topped it up. Took it in for an oil change at 10,000 miles but now at...

My 2000 V6 passat has been laid up a while because I needed to fix motor mounts and Oil Leaks from VCG and a bad CCT. Right before I put it up, I noticed an electrical burning smell and smoke from below the right front air intake (where the plastic intake goes through the top of the grill)...

Last weekend I replaced my front pads & rotors. This weekend I did the rears. My front pistons were both quite rusted, and I don't think I ever got the front left compressed completely. After I replaced them, the left front smoked a bit for the first few rides, then stopped. The right...

Hi, I was idling when my '99 passat 1.8T started shaking and the CEL was flashing. I was able to limp it a quarter mile home, but it was very weak and when I got out of the car, there was a strong burning smell. I have checked the engine codes and they were: Address 01: Engine Labels...

Hi I'm new to this whole forum thing and I just bought a 2002 Volkswagen Passat 1.8t, it has around 160,000 miles and still runs great but there is two problems that I am unsure about and looking for some help... 1. there is a leak under the driver side, (leaves about a 1/2 foot puddle) it...

Hey I have an Audi A4 1.8T and I have a problem... Whenever I drive the car at regular speed everything is good... But when I drive the car at high speed (when I drive the car hard) after I slow down I see a lot of blue smoke and the smell of burning oil... I can see traces of oil in the tail...

Hi all, So I've been having this problem for a few months now. I go out to my car in the morning and it will start in limp mode. After a quick inspection I see this fuse is blown and change it. After clearing transmission codes it starts up normal again. Now I don't recall the. Ode it gives...

Two new issues with my 2002 Passat GLX 4mo Wagon First, there's a burning rubber smell that just started. It's not the burning oil smell, it's legit rubber/plastic burning smell. My wild-ass-guess is timing belt being too tight now that it's warmed up outside, since I had it put on in the...

I recently replaced my cam seal, tensioner gasket, and vcg on the passenger side due to the vcg leaking and was wondering how long it would take until the smell is gone from coming into the car. there was a mess of oil that went everywhere and I really couldn't clean it too well.

I have a 2006 Passat 2.0 Turbo, it is burning oil. I see oil residue between exhaust and turbo. we replaced turbo assembly. we .checked pvc valve, it is ok. and recirculating valve has also been replaced. all 4 cyl has 170psi compression. seen some oil in intercooler piping from the passenger...

Hey all, Ive got a 2005 VW Passat V6 ATQ engine with 104k miles. The problem started a while ago 65~70k miles. Right around the time of my scheduled oil changes (3k miles) when I took a sharp fast turn my "STOP" oil pressure warning light would turn on then go away. I asked the garage to measure...

Hey guys, So i have searched on the forum looking for this specific problem but can't really find it. I drive a 2002 passat (b5.5) 4 cylinder turbo charged. and I -think- I am burning oil, but i am not sure. I got the vehicle last July (almost a year old) I do my oil change every 3k with full...

1998 Passat GLS wagon 1.8t. Just replaced the head thinking that of the gasket were the problem but was wrong. I am getting oil into the coolent and burning oil at deceleration after cruising at 45 or better. Any ideas anyone????:banghead:

So yesterday i replaced my turbo and my cat. Obviously it smoked for a while after starting it to burn off the new gaskets and whatnot, but after taking it for a test drive i noticed a really bad burning smell. Today i jacked up the car and looked underneath to make sure all was well...

I was wondering would a low coolant level cause my 2000 v6 to burn oil? I've changed out the vcg and couldn't find any more leaks around the other gaskets, pcv should be fine as well. Sorry I don't know to much about cars I'm still learning :lol:

Long story short, the smell started up just a couple months ago on the wife's 01.5 4mo wagon. I figured "Hey, it was bound to happen, I'll just order the Blauparts kit and be done with it in a day or two over Christmas." Well, the CCT compressor tool broke, but I was able to replace the VCGs...
