Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just wondering how much oil a 1.3ltr zuk uses with fine motor. Mines desperately needs re-build (has 210k on clock) and it uses around 1/4 of oil to half a tank of fuel usually.

My compression on motor is fine all cylinders around same (200), should i get full rebuild or just all gaskets seals ect.? Other factor is bearings would be disturbed once motor is apart so new ones should be put in.

a good motor should not really use any oil

agreed my motor (GTi but same block) has over 100K on the odo and uses none.

mine has 204,000k on it, and hasn't been rebuilt and runs like new still, and dosent use any oil, its the standed 1.3 engine.

cheers scott

if i sit on 90kmhr for extended periods in my 1ltr (4500rpm) it uses a bit but if i stick to 80 it uses none

My 1ltr doesn't "use" oil, it just leaks it.

my g13a with 295000 kays on it uses about 100ml of oil
on a 700km drive. but only when the temperature is over 35deg.

are you sure you dont have a leak somewhere? check the seal around the tappet cover. if it is leaking from there, you can get a new one for about $15 bucks from repco.

my one ltr was using about 5L a week with a combo of rings, tapper cover and sump gasket, now its all new except the rings it uses about 1L a month

mine usues around 3ltrs to 30lts of fuel....

yep its shagged.. but blows very little smoke and no leeks...

Pretty sure theres no leaks the motor it's just crying for a re-built i guess, blows no too little smoke. Though my friend said he seen blue smoke when i was revving it abit lol.
