have a volkswagon beetle 2000, 2 litre petrol and its giving awful problems burning oil, have tried volkswagon but am getting no satisfaction, anyone any help or similar problems.
My 2001 Beetle is burning approximately 3-3 1/2 quarts of oil every 3 thousand miles. Amazingly enough, the mechanic looked me right in the eye and informed that this is perfectly acceptable. I, oh so sweetly, informed good old Shawn that I was no Einstein when it comes to cars but even I know this is completely UNacceptable and what were they going to do about it?
The reply was we're not doing anything about it. I then asked the dealership to put in writing that there was nothing wrong with my engine even if it was burning mega amounts of oil. Yes, you guessed it, they really couldn't do that. I should just take their word for it. Since this incident I've been doing some research and have read literally thousands of complaints from people like me. How can this company get away with this?
Not necessarily. VW has for many years stated that burning one quart per thousand miles or so is within their engines' normal range. There is nothing inherently bad about this, as long as consumers keep an eye on the oil and top it off as needed.
Approximately 1 litreNow, what's a quart??
