as funny as it sounds my oil level drops from high to low in a months time, without any visable signs of leaking ie spots on the drivway, the exhaust smoke is non-existant. no leaks visable from engine bay either
anyone had similar issues?

could be a faulty or clogged PCV valve or the various rubber lines connecting the PCV to the intake arm.

Would also help to know what oil you are using and what the car specifies...

:lol: :lol:

10W-30 is recommended for the 1.8T in T&T, you can use a 10W-40 for the most... do not use a 50 body.
