1 litre of oil to 1000 miles

[new to vw]

My golf does the same.....An engine can use oil in lots of ways from the valves into the bores to piston rings not sealing properly....I would start to worry if there was signs of oil in the exhaust tail pipes...Have a good loook around the engine bay bud, if its dirty get it steam cleaned then run the car for a while and have another look for any signs of leakage

Noticed mine is doing this but worse probably. Thought ill randomly check the oil after 3 months and there was nothing there I have done no more than 2k miles since service. Its only 1.4

On turbo models it may be signs off turbo oil seals on the way out. If its burning very little it will be hard to notice the loss of oil. Another common thing is the sump plug and washer. The cars have ally sumps and are very easily crossed threaded, this would let oil weep out.

Other than that could be valve stem oil seals, piston oil seals letting abit of oil past and into combustion chamber, very heavy breathing engine.

None of the above sounds good. I've removed all of the PCV system and it is now breathing to atmosphere but I can see no signs of any oily residue in the pipework.
