Burning Oil
Hi io community,
I purchased an io 1.8 GDI Turbo io (Manufatured in 2000) about two months back. On purchasing it i did a full service and replaced the filters etc. Also did a complete tune up. But It burns oil like crazy. for every 500 kms i have to top up the oil (Approx 1 Ltr). The ODO is only at 78k. How can this be? Please help!!!

You could have a few problem, but it doesn't sound good. The obvious one....oil leak, next, the oil that they used might not be the right one (still 1l/500km that is a lot), or , the bad news, you could have a worn out engine. Turbo car need to be look after a bit more and if the previous owner didn't look after it and had a heavy right foot....
Other may have a bit more idea...
Edit: any smoke? valve stem seals could be another guilty one...
Happy io
Try to open a thread in the engine section and not in the blog, you will have more views.
