2001 Volkswagen Passat passat 4 wheel motion v6 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car is a very strong and reliable car. I recently had a problem with the oil consumption. It seems that after every 1000 miles the car loses a quart of oil. The Dealer says this is normal on this car. I'm a little disappointed in that.
General comments?
I feel that the car shouldn't be losing a quart of oil every 1000 miles. My car has about 20,930 miles on it right now. I am bringing it in for an oil consumption test which is now in the process. They will check the oil every 1000 miles to see what happens.
