Passat (B5) :: Too Much Oil Consumption Observed
Have a 2001 Passat V6 Manual 105000 Miles, Always used synthetic oil and changed every 5000 miles. After oil change, maybe around 3000-3500 miles oil level goes down to close to minimum. Roughly i'm burning little over a quart every 5000 Miles. Is this normal?? BTW there are no leaks/spots, no burning smell, no smoke coming out.

I have noticed my oil consumption has jumped to 1 1/2 quarts at 3000 miles..(it has been changed every 3 to 4000 miles) and is always very dark.. There's no leaks and the spark plugs were clean (just a little ash) when I changed them with the last oil change. No smoke from the tail pipe and the car still gets 45/48 mpg ..

View 19 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: Mileage Count Since Last Refill On Consumption Screen?
I have a 2009 Prius (purchased in March of '09) - working just fine - 58.6 mpg.
Each time that I have gone to purchase gas, I have not pushed the reset button on the Consumption screen as I have wanted to keep a running average for mpg. However, the miles driven count since the last refill automatically goes back to 0 (again on the Consumption Screen) and then starts a new count. This is useful as I know how many miles I have driven since the last refill. Today, however, I purchased fuel and the count did not revert to 0. Has a sensor been damaged? Is there anything I can or should do? I know I could press the Reset button but that would be a last resort.
Prius (Gen 2) Fuel :: 2005 - Fuel Consumption Increase After Service And New Brakes
So, my 2005 Gen II Prius went for a scheduled service on Wednesday, 70k miles, Toyota main dealer. They called and said it needed new front brake pads and disks, I was surprised but gave the go ahead. There would occasionally have been a mild squealing sound from the brakes at very low speed so I accepted the pads might need replacing, I was surprised the disks needed replacing but it hard to argue about brakes, especially as I only have the car a year (I'm the second owner and it has a full Toyota service history). It had a "major" service, new spark plugs, new front brake pads and disks.
Since collecting it I've noticed that the engine seems to kick in more often and needs higher revs. The fuel consumption seems higher, normally mid 50's MPG (imperial gallon) now 35MPG. However it hasn't been driven many miles since its been serviced so its a low distance for calculating MPG. I've also noticed that the car seems to slow more quickly without applying the brakes, a regularly driven hill that I coast down at 48kph now only gives 35kph. Also, if I drive on a flat road for a mile or 2 and coast to a stop the front brake disks feel VERY hot, way too hot to touch, drivers side more so that passenger side.
Elantra XD (2001-06) :: 2005, Too Much Oil Consumption
My 2005 Elantra has 240,000 miles on it and uses about a quart of oil per 1000 miles. It does not smoke, nor are there any oil leaks. I've owned this car since new and I've done all the maintenance work (oil changes, timing belts, CV boots, etc).
The oil consumption started at about 120,000 miles and has gotten progressively worse. Outside of the oil consumption, this car is in great shape. It starts and runs very well. My kids drive it about 1000 miles per week between work, college, and other events.
If it didn't burn so much oil, I'd go ahead and replace the clutch, struts, and shocks but can't validate the time and expense given the oil issue.
Passat (B5) :: 2004 - Too Much Oil Consumption
Alright so every 3-4 weeks I have to put about a quart of oil in the car. Its sometimes less, sometimes more. I HAD an oil leak from the passenger side valve tensioner gasket cover. I had the pcv system replaced and all new gaskets. No more oil leak. BUT, I still seem to be losing oil. I can't afford a quart or more every 3-4 weeks. I've looked all over the engine and underneath and haven't found any oil. If this persists, I might trade in and get a 24v VR6 GLI. I've had more small things go wrong with this car and its starting to piss me off. At least with a 24v I can get more power mods....

View 15 RepliesPrius (Gen 3) Fuel :: Consumption With Speed Increase / Decrease
Since I got Prius I've noticed that driving at 50mph returns 80+mpg , 90+mpg if I let it gently glide at -1mph per 1 mile. As it gradually slows down, the mileage starts to decrease. By the time I get down to 45 mph the mileage shows around 70mpg,
I get down to 40mph, I'm only getting 50mpg. When I keep my speed between 40 and 45 I get about 52-55 mpg for the day. If I keep my speed between 45 and 50, I get 55-60mpg for the day.

View 13 RepliesPrius (Gen 2) :: Cannot Reset Average MPGs On Consumption Display
I have a "new to me" 2009 Touring that I purchased on 9/2/10. She had approximately 35K miles on her and an Average MPG of 39.6. While I have managed to increase that average up to 41.7, I'm tired of looking at the results of the previous owner's bad habits.
I have hit the Reset button on the Consumption screen several times, but the only thing resetting is the number of miles driven. I have reset both the Trip A and Trip B Odometers, again the only change is the trip odometer reading, NOT the Average MPGs.
This is making me a little crazy as my previous car was a 2004 Prius and the Average MPGs AND miles driven automatically reset any time I filled up with fuel.
Prius (Gen 2) :: Steady Energy Consumption Screen Showing Up
Recently we've been seeing a steady Energy Consumption screen showing up on our monitor, even when we change the screen to another screen. It fluctuates between green, yellow, and red arrows pointing from the engine and around the screen. The red lines do not show up other than during acceleration. There is no other notice of any possible problem on the dashboard readout.
