Consumer Description
Vehicle has been using oil since it has approx 15k miles. Engine now has 35000 miles and uses all of its engine oil before its next sched maint. Have told dealer numerous times, oil consumption test revealed it uses .61 quarts per 1000 miles, but this is normal per VW. What !?!?. VW states to change oil every 10,000 miles, it will be gone and engine will have no oil remaining within the sched maint. Have also contacted VW directly. Also blows blue smoke at start up at times. Engine is junk. Vehicle will have cost over $1000 per mile to own. Dealer and VW keep telling us to just check oil, its normal. I also own a 2003 pontiac vibe with 220k miles, it doesn't do this! I used to be an ASE certified mechanic. This is NOT normal. Car also has the typical hesitation on cold acceleration that is common (look it up), I will file separate complaint. And now p2402 code for an emissions issue. Problems adding up fast and no help from VW or VW dealers.
