VW Golf Oil Consumption
I have a 2002 VW Golf with the 2 liter engine with 21,000 miles on it. It is useing about 1 Qt. of oil every 1200 miles. The dealer say's this is normal. I think it sounds like BS. I talked to a local VW mechanic who is also sceptical of this claim. Anyone out there have any exprrience or comments on this?

VW has problems with some 2.0 engines and oil consumption.
Heres what happens : Oil ring gaps on piston aligned at factory causing heavy oil conpumption. Oil rings installed upside down causing moderate oil consumption. Oil Rings craked causing oil consumption. 1200 miles per qt is not right Thats alot of oil. That means 3qts every 3600 miles. I think vw states max of 2-2.5 qts every 3k. |
