leon fr 2015/184ps burning 1Liter oil in 1000km, is it too much ?!

That is to be expected with that mileage I think. I believe 1 liter per 1000km falls in spec for VW
when i bough it first it went 3000km without losing oil, but when i changed the timming belt and repair the head gasked, now is burning 1l every 1000km :/
Are you sure you are burning it? Not leaking anywhere? Why did you repair the head gasket? Take of the downpipe and see if there is a lot of oil there(turbo seal)
The VW allowance is actually half that - at 0.5L per 1000km - and even this I would say is too high.
Yes that is too high.
double the VW spec, which itself would be too high.
At that usage your DPF must be trying to re-gen a lot!
I repaired the head gasket beceause of water leak, i will deffinetly check the turbo,
The fact the oil consumption was ok before the timing belt and head gasket job would lead me to believe the turbo and pistons are reasonable - unless they were damaged by over heating due to your coolant loss?
My 184 is on 140k miles (225,000km) and i monitor my oil consumption. On average since 2022 is 0.12L per 1000km.
I think I would pull the injectors - and check to see if a particular cylinder is oily?
Obviously check all around the engine for external oil leaks? If nothing external - it must be burning the oil.
