Four problems related to engine burning oil have been reported for the 2000 Volkswagen Beetle. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have a 2000 Beetle. Bought it used with a extended warranty. The problem started few months after the buying it. The consumption of oil is outrageous. I have to change the oil every 800 miles. I took the car to the dealer, the dealer performed a consumption oil test, and according with their test the consumption of oil was within the standards of a regular consumption. Having to check the oil level every 800 miles is stressful. Few week ago I had to change the spark plug because the car wouldn't start.
Vehicle burns 1 quart of oil for every thousand miles. This is normal. Consumer feels engine is burning the oil and should not also it may be an emission issue. Please provide any further information.
Consumer is having problems with the oil consumption in this vehicle. Vehicle has been examined for oil leaks. Vehicle runs low on oil every 1000 miles. Dealer says this is normal for this type of engine.
Excessive oil consumption (1 quart oil every 250 miles!) yet dealer and manufacturer don't want to fix it until we said we would suit if they don't act on it.
