About Yellow Oil Lamp?!

Um, are you getting this light when you start the engine, or is it only on when you turn the ignition on? You do know all the lights are supposed to light up when you key on, as a self-test? They go out when you actually start the car.

Ok once and for all :D

Only when the ignition is "on", after I startet, all Lamps were out!

BUT I'm asking about, because I have much Oil consumption... at the moment I can't

tell you how much, because I refilled yesterday to max. What has strucked me is, when I start the engiene, a great blue cloud cames from the exhaust :( after that white smoke comes out, because its cold. when the Engiene is on temperature everyhink is fine. but sometimes came a blue clout out, when I approach from traffic lights as example. Maybe the "valve stem seals" are damaged?

 

I hope my english is not so bad :/

What oil grade are you using as 0W?? I have heard can cause excessive consumption as its too thin. Also do you get any smoke when under boost as this I think is the turbo seals but on start up is the valve stem seals like you mentioned. It could also possibly be worn piston rings.

Yes if you are getting blue smoke at start up, the valve stem seals are worn and need replacing.
