I don't know where to start really except to say our car has piston slap and drinks a lot of oil and has done since buying it. In 12k miles she's drunk 4 and a half litres of oil. I'm gutted really and don't know what to do with the car? The noise concerned has been there since we bought her but it was so small that i just put it down to a worn top end hence why i've been looking for a cheap head and considering a top end rebuild lately thinking the valve guides are the reason she uses so much oil.
If you've read my thread on the car "Cobalt Dream Machine" she ran out of oil on the way home after buying and has drunk it ever since although i've been keeping that quiet telling only a couple people on here. I was hoping it would go away but looking back now the mot test a few months back was telling as it really struggled to get a pass. It's been diagnosed by Rob of Wom Automotive at the A2 meal in Birmingham the other week and the the mechanic who did our cam belt change today, who's a time served Vag tech master technician. I didn't expect this to be the case but sadly it has been confirmed.
