Consumer Description

I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH OIL CONSUMPTION WITH MY VOLKSWAGEN, JETTA 2000. I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL WARRANTY SCHEDULED CHECKUPS, AND HAVE TAKEN CARE OF TEH CAR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS. SPECIFICALLY, AT ONE POINT, I DISCOVERED, BETWEEN THE WARRRANTY CHECKUPS, THAT MY CAR'S, OIL DIP STICK WAS ABSOLUTELY DRY. I REPORTED THIS EVENT TO ATAMIAN VOLKSWAGEN WHO TOLD ME THAT "2000 VOLKSWAGEN ARE WELL KNOWN TO CONSUME OIL". SINCE THEN I HAVE UNDERGONE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS. IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT MY CAR CONSUMES OIL AT A RATE OF 1 QUART EVERY 1500 MILES. WV SAYS THAT THIS COMPLIES WITH THEIR SPECIFICATIONS (THE OIL CONSUMPTION RATE IS NOT STATED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL).*AK
