  • Opel Agila 1.2 16 V (H00) extreme oil consumption

    Opel Agila 1.2 16V EZ 06/2004 158,000 km Engine Z12XE, H00 FIN W0L0HAF684G063582 Engine displacement 1199 Of course I tried the search function. But either it was not dissolved or it was a bit different than with my car… The Agila has an extremely high oil consumption: about 1 l on 200 km!!!! No error messages with my OBD2 scanner, no control lights. The compression is ok. There is no smoke from the exhaust (only after downhill and then give back gas briefly a white No oil stains under the car, no oil in the cooling water, no cooling water in the oil. The two spark plugs towards the driver’s side are slightly oily at the contacts. With open oil filler nozzle and running engine it blows out easily – there should actually be a vacuum? In the stand I sometimes notice a petrol smell, which I can’t locate. And in the end pot he has a small hole down. In the idle with warm engine I have held my ear very close to it, to the light To locate bells (from the driver’s side to the passenger’s side to the steering chain): The quietest is on the driver’s side (with the oily spark plugs), the loudest over the two right (i.e. passenger’s side) cylinders, over the steering chain it becomes quieter again. I can’t judge performance loss because I bought the car already with the problem and that is my first Agila. On steep mountains it is difficult, on the highway (level track) it manages 140 km/h, in the cityve I changed the valve cover seal because the old one was torn when the valve cover was removed. But didn’t cause any change. I wonder where the lot of oil goes? When it is burned, the box would have to smoke like sow, wouldn’t it? How can I tell whether it is the valve support seals, the ZKD or the piston rings without taking the engine apart? Somewhere else I have read something from Simmerring to the gearbox, there would have to be But I’ve got to get out of here, haven’t I?
