Consumer Description

PURCHASED NEW 2001 JETTA IN AUGUST OF 2000, GLS 2.0L ENGINE AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN BURNING/LOSING OIL. ABOUT 1 QT EVEY 1000 MILES DRIVEN. CANNOT UNDERSTAND AND OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BY VWOF A IN JULY OF 2002 SAID IT WAS NORMAL EVEN AFTER BREAKIN PERIOD. CAR CURRENTLY HAS 46,000 MILES. I AM PISSED OFF STILL AND I AM BASICALLY PUTTING A QUART OF OIL IN EVERY MONTH PLUS 2 OIL CHANGES A YEAR. THIS NORMAL OIL CONSUMTION IS COSTING A FORTUNE AND THIS WAS NEVER DISCLOSED TO ME WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW. NO MENTION OF IT IN THE SERVICE MANUAL AND VWOF A HAS A TSB OUT THERE BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A NEW ENGINE.
