welcome aboard!

if your loosing loads of oil u have to STOP redlining it man its going to make it worse!!


which 1.6 engine have you got?
the C16xe and X16xe are highly prone to oil consumtion problems especially when they get to about 60k miles...

the main and best cure is a Full-rebuild, i say Full because once the head is of and engine in bits you may aswell do everything..turns out cheaper than the long run
