Guest johan 309gti16 Posted January 31, 2006 Hello, My peugeot 309GTI16, with 237000 km (148000 miles) on the clock, has oil consumption 1 litre on 4500 km (2800 miles) is that much? When driving the car there is no bleu smoke, only when the car is running idle, and I give a lot of gas there is some bleu smoke out the exhaust. The colour of the oil is after 2000km, when I refresh it not much changed. thank you for any command Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashley peddle 3 Posted January 31, 2006 my gti (8v) uses about half a litre every 2.5k miles - thats a mix of soft/hard driving on both motorway and through town. mine is on 80k miles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashlee205gti 1 Posted January 31, 2006 Do a compression test to make sure your piston rings are ok, if they are its more likely to be the valve stem seals. 1 litre for 2,500 miles seems like a lot to me. I very rarely need to top up between 6,000 mile oil changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cybernck 402 1 Cars Posted January 31, 2006 my uses a litre every 1000 kilometers (not miles ) but my stem seals are gone . and it can get worse, you've no idea what imact these pesky buggers have when worn! does your car smoke? if so, when? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrSeuss 0 Posted January 31, 2006 by the end of its life my 1.6 was burning about 1ltr every 300 miles. Most of that was stem seals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butler 0 Posted January 31, 2006 Sounds like stems seals to me. Its not a lot of oil, but it will only get worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Higgy 0 Posted January 31, 2006 I just put about 1/2 litre in my 205 Mi since doing about 900miles. My 405 GLX with a genuine 55K on the clock uses 1 ltr per 1000 miles. It does not drip or is there any visable smoke! There is a knock when the engine is cold (piston slap) so I guess oil passes by the rings while its cold? My old XR2i smoked on start-up when left overnight due to valve stem seals, but I did not have to top it up much. I guess it only needs a small amount of oil to produce the smoke. Higgy.

Guest johan 309gti16 Posted January 31, 2006 There is no visible smoke when driving it. Only when I stand still, and give playing with gas throttle to about 6500 rpm there is some visible smoke. I read that the stem seals are likely the problem . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sonny Posted February 2, 2006 (edited) There is no visible smoke when driving it. Only when I stand still, and give playing with gas throttle to about 6500 rpm there is some visible smoke. I read that the stem seals are likely the problem . What kind of oil are you using? Try something thicker... I'm using Motul 300V 15W50...
