Hi,
I am experiencing high oil consumption since I bought my VW T3 syncro with and 1.9TD AAZ installed. I have got 1 liter of oil per 300Km, which I think is way TOO MUCH. The problems is that the problem is still there after: new turbo, new valve seals and new piston rings. The cylinder head is in good condition (is a new one with less than 30K km, no craks). The engine does not leak oil, I am pretty sure.
So I am wondering how the oil is getting into the combustion chambers. The only place that I can think of is the PCV valve that connects to the turbo intake. Since the AAZ is installed at 52º instead at the original 15º, I always though that this valve cannot work properly, and that installing the 1.6TD JX valve cover could be a good idea since the PCV would work vertically then.
But I have installed the crankcase ventilation tube than connects to the PCV valve, and with the JX setup I think It wouldn't fit.
BTW, this ventilation tube has another version with an oil separator in the middle. The problem again is the 52º angle (I think that oil separator have to work vertically)
Any hint ?
Thanks
