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.
 
Found this link on google.

It's a long list but here's an extract:

The website, I think, replied:
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.

Now, what's a quart??
 
burning lubricant

Under EU-legislation there is a legal limit concerning fumes/air pollution .Check with a mechanic if your beetle is still adhering to them.The VW Lupo needs no top-up with oil during it's entire Life time.So I doubt the information that VW engines are burning oil as a standard performance.It would ruin the catalyst I say,and the NCT test would be a problem as well,especially with more stringent standards concerning particle emissions/sooth.
