Does the Volkswagen CC Burn Engine Oil?
1 Answers
The older models of the Volkswagen CC do burn engine oil, as those equipped with the second-generation EA888 engine commonly exhibit this issue. However, the newer Volkswagen CC models fitted with the third-generation EA888 engine do not suffer from oil burning. Below are the main reasons why some Volkswagen models experience oil burning: 1. Honeycomb design on cylinder walls: Most German car engines feature a honeycomb pattern on the cylinder walls, which helps retain a small amount of oil to lubricate the walls and reduce wear during high-speed operation. However, during low-speed operation, the oil stored in these honeycombs can be burned off. All cars consume some oil, and if the consumption is within the standard range, it's not a problem. If the oil consumption exceeds the standard, repairs may be necessary. Prolonged oil burning can lead to increased carbon deposits in the engine and damage the catalytic converter. If your car burns oil, you can try using a higher-viscosity oil. 2. Defective oil separator: The oil separator is a component of the crankcase ventilation system that separates oil vapor from the gases. If the oil separator is poorly designed, it may not fully separate the oil vapor, allowing some to re-enter the combustion chamber and burn, resulting in oil burning.
