Up this topic.

My 1.5AT eats a lot of petrol too, arount 15L/100KM! I think it should be about 9 litres reasonably.

Any successful work by changing o2 sensor or filter ....etc ??


It is strange when I turn on the engine , the fuel meter will drop a little within a few minutes.

what should it looks like if milky under oil cap ?

SoulReaver wrote:last time my engine started coughing and misfiring was when the gasket went and i got water in the cylinders.... check under your oil cap... if the oil looks milky, it means your head or gasket is gone.

White or brown ?

I have done 2000km since I found that residue in the engine oil cap. Now the coolant level doesn't change much and can't find any residue in back of cap anymore .

Is this mean everything is ok ?

I think the water may come from the vatilation hose of engine cam cover during rain or humid weather .
