Last year I started noticing my engine was running very odd. The low engine oil light never came on. I had barely any oil left so I got an oil change thinking that was the issue. A couple weeks later, it started running odd again. I checked the dipstick and it was low on oil again. This kept happening for months. I recently took it to vw service shop to get it confirmed if there was an issue with oil consumption. They told to come back to do an oil consumption test for $300. I didn't want to pay that much just for a test so I asked my friend that worked there if they knew anything. Turns out, the service techs know its a common issue with Jettas and it would cost $4k to get my engine replaced to fix the issue. I bought the in 2017 and was so close to paying it off this year. . . . . . . . . Not worth it. . . . . :(.
Car began using excessive oil in last year. Started about 60,000 miles. Currently 69,000. Today would not start and no low oil light. Checked oil and low. Added 1 quart in a 4 quart system car started, ran. Dealership says they all burn oil . Some burn a quart every 1500 miles. The 2. 0 liter turbo engine im finding is the culpirt. Have one other in car a tiguan but no problem yet (2018 model year). If this oil get low as driving with no check oil light coming on 1( can it stall and possibly cause accident. Or 2) kill motor and loose power to all and possibly cause accident? any other complaints? any help as what to do? thank you.
Excessive oil consumption in a short amount of time.
Transmission problems? once my car got up to 80,000 miles when in traffic I take my foot off the accelerator while in drive and then accelerate sometimes there's a jerking as if the car doesn't know what gear to be in. Normally happens at any speed typically while driving slowing down and accelerating. Date when it started I really started noticing it in January 2019. I also noticed excessive oil consumption and when oil gets low on dipstick no low oil light on dash. Oil gets lower than dipstick. Dipstick becomes dry but no sound difference in engine and still runs normally.
