Has the Volkswagen Engine Oil Burning Issue Been Resolved?
1 Answers
Volkswagen engine issues have currently been well addressed. Below is an introduction to the Volkswagen engine problems: 1. The oil burning in Volkswagen engines is caused by faulty components inside the engine, leading to oil entering the combustion chamber and being burned off. This is mostly due to the oil-gas separator not thoroughly separating oil and gas, aging or damaged oil seals, or severe wear of piston rings. The ultimate solution is an engine overhaul, replacing the problematic components. However, an overhaul is costly and time-consuming, and it's best avoided unless absolutely necessary. 2. The third-generation EA888 engine has largely resolved the oil burning issue by redesigning the piston rings and upgrading the oil-gas separator to a two-stage separation system. This has significantly improved the oil burning situation, with oil consumption now not exceeding 300ml per 5000km. While this no longer affects usage, the issue hasn't been completely eradicated.
