Engine Problem 1.2 GLS

Post by joshmurph »

Hi,

Basically you can fill the car up with oil and as long as you don't drive above approx 50mph it will last forever

But, as soon as you go on motorways ect the oil just burns off,

had it to garages and that but nobody seems to know what is wrong with it

any ideas or anyone got a similar problem

its a R reg 1998

Cheers

Josh

get a compression test done on it. could be a valve stem oil seal or maybe piston ring.
