Hi all!
I own a 1982 1.6l TD vanagon westy. Everything seems ok with my engine
execpt oil consumption.
It takes almost 1 quart every 300 miles.
The compression is 450 psi on 2 cyl and 475 psi on the other ones. I see no
oil leak and the engine runs very good.
here are the conditions how i tested the consumption:
45-50 degrees F outside air temp.
Oil grade 15w 40 for diesel
75% flat road
25% Moderate hills where i had to shift to 3 gear to go up some of them at
40 mph.
Never exceeding 62 mph.
I know that small TD engine must work very hard to move that 2 tons body but
i find that oil consumption a little excessive.
Someone has ideas about that?

Thanks
Sylvain B�langer
Montr�al Quebec.
