The car is burning oil at an alarming rate. I have to add 4 quarts of oil between oil changes.
Since I bought the car I've always had issues with the oil consumption. I was told it was �normal� to loose up to 8 courts of oil in-between my oil changes. The dealership told me this!! the car has been very well taken care of, I get oil changes every couple thousand miles instead of every 10,000 like vw recommends. If I did this my engine would quiet literally blow up. I've been told repeatedly by multiple foreign repair shops (non vw dealership) that this is a common issue with this motor but for whatever reason the 2013 cc models were not recalled. By the sounds of it's a repair that vw refuses to acknowledge or fix. I'm upside down on the loan & have been told I basically need a whole new engine. Now, every time I refuel I have to add a quart of oil otherwise my check engine light comes on or I receive a �check oil pressure. Engine off� message. I might be a female but I'm not that stupid to know that this isn't normal! this is a constant issue!.
