oil consumption passat 2003 glx wagon
Help.
I don’t know how to find out what is normal and what is not. I have been using about a quart every 1,000 miles…doing tests with service. I’m at 24000 miles. They replaced a cracked camshaft tensioner ? a month ago…that took 1 and 1/2 years to find. It still requires oil. It is a v-6. The local “”service rep”" says it is normal. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

BTW its not normal for a car to just burn oil while you drive it.

That’s what happened to me.

oil consumption passat 2003 glx wagon – Rick is right. Request an oil consumption test. It is the start to the end of your problems. Call VWOA and tell them your story 1-800-822-8987. You will get a case or reference number. This will force the dealer/service department to follow through.
