The days when that was acceptable are long gone - it's a sign of either poor design or poor quality control. I don't hold up my Fiat 2.8JTD as superior to anything in particular but it uses minimal oil between annual changes. The 2.5TD in my last MH was the same. It is a very long time since I had to top up any engine between oil changes. Incidentally Diesel engines are called 'oil burners' because their fuel is referred to as Diesel oil.Surely lots of diesel engines use a fair bit of oil? Isn't it why they're nicknamed oil burners??
My current Golf uses around a litre each month, my last one hardly used any.
I run two Vivaro, one burns oil, one doesn't.
Our 2015 Mercedes Citan (same as Renault Kangoo) uses at least a litre per month, been like it since new...
Of all the possible Volkswagen problems, burning oil seems an odd one to get cross about!

If they use oil they have a problem& no ,they are called oil burners as diesel is oil.Surely lots of diesel engines use a fair bit of oil? Isn't it why they're nicknamed oil burners??
