I reckon thats well within what I would expect in the first 4000 miles. Diesels do use oil during the running in period. If its still doing it at 15,000 miles I might be more worried, but in my opinion you have little to be concerned about. |

Just to confirm trg's comment - when I collected my FL2 from the dealere the salesman warned me to keep an eye on the oil level as the diesel was a known user during its early mileage. Never qualified the typical mileage when oil consumption should improve. Used approx 1litre in 4000 miles.

Diesels have always used oil until they bed in, normaly around the 20k mark before they settle down. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior |

Nothing to worry about. My 08 when new used about 1/2 lit per 800miles reducing to nil consumption by 6000. From 1st service at 14500 miles till 25600 at 2 years old no top up reqd.

Ours had a litre in in the first 5000 miles, apparently LR say anything up to 1 litre per 3000 miles is nothing excessive and within tolerances, and that's for the life of the car, not just running in, so I was told. Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35

What is a typical oil consumption for the TD4 engine? Mine has covered 23,000 miles since new and has used just under 5 ltrs.

Any engine consumes a little oil, invariably. But some more than others. And diesels more than petrols.
