HI, I would welcome any suggestions on how to deal with this issue:
*My car is under warranty but it runs out in a few months *Car has progressively burned more oil over the past year (Started at around 1 litre every 4000 miles, now it's at 1 litre every 1700 miles) *I have provided a detailed log showing how much this is burning to local dealer and customer service where I have raised a formal complaint *Manufacturer has claimed according to their factory spec that on average their this cars can burn up to 1 litre every 800 miles (dealer then said for this car it's 1200 miles) and that's 'within permissible limits'I have been raising this issue over the past year and feel that the most recent suggestion (do another oil consumption test) is a delaying tactic and that by the time this is done, warranty replacement of an engine if this is required won't be covered. They have offered to do an in depth check now, but if they find nothing wrong I will be stuck with the bill.
I appreciate any suggestions you have to help to resolve this issue including what is available to me as a consumer in order to get the manufacturer to cover what I think is fair on their part
Many thanks Fred
