I agree; just keep topping it up; 1L every 500km is normal for many cars although my 1.2 8v Mk1 Punto (212,000m) uses no oil between services but my wife's 1.6 old style Tigra has used 1L for every 250 miles for the last 100,000 miles and otherwise goes well..

Mar 5, 2004. #6. I started having to top up at around 40k. Before that I never needed to. I also religously change the oil every 10k with various brands of synthetic oil. This time I topped it off right to the max line and recorded the mileage so at least I'll have an acurate measure of what's happening. C.

Vozim Punto classic 1,2- 8v vec 5 godina. Ima fabricki TNG. Prezadovoljan sam tim autom. Potrosnja plina 7l, benzina 5,5l. Odrzavanje je prilicno jeftino i ne kvari se , 155.000km je presao za 9 godina. Preporuka za nove vozace pocetnike prvenstveno.
1) Cleaned out the throttle body (although this was not bad) 2) Replaced the Lambda sensors (both) 3) Replaced the catalytic converter & air filter. 4) Replaced the plugs and HT leads. I also removed the inlet manifold to check for damage, gasket leaks etc. The car idles perfectly, no misfires.
Technical changes were more pressing, so a couple of new diesels have been ushered in, including the 1.3 Multijet and a 1.4 petrol. Existing engines, including the 80bhp 1.2-litre 16-valver tested
