skoda cars - oil consumption - archie46

Hi. Both my wifes car(1.2tsi Fabia), 35000miles, just under 3yrs old, and mine(1.8tsi Octavia, 8000miles,2yrs old, have both started using a fair bit of oil. I bought my car having been impressed with the smooth good performing engine of the 105bhp Fabia, so am rather concerned at the oil consumption, especially as iv'e only had mine for 3months. Both appear to use at least 1ltr between inspections, roughly 2 months. Is this normal for a tubo petrol engine?, have any other Skoda owners of these tsi engined cars experienced similar issues?.

Many thanks
