Oil Loss

[danda]

How many Kms in that time
what sort of driving
was the car serviced in that time or before purchase

A few factors to consider

VW will not consider oil consumption a problem until it is more than 1litre per 2000km, engines are designed to use some oil and how much is difficult to quantify. Some engines use very little some use more
If a lot of water or other volativles build up in the oil due to city driving the level can drop if you then do longer country trips and run at higher tmperatures for longer preiods boiling off the water and volatiles

It was serviced by VW in January (as per log book) and 4000Ks later its lost about a Ltr its still dissapointing that they do use oil bought the wife a Hyudai I20 brand new its now done 110 Ks and never lost a drop of anything and it cost a fraction of a Golf no if thats "normal"then I think I'll put my dollars somewhere else shame as I reallyi love the car it drives superb but Im finding it hard to justify checking oil so often surely they dont use that much so often ?
