VW Beetle oil consumption questioned by owner
Dear Tom and Ray note a 1999 VW New Beetle burning a quart of oil every 1000 miles with only 28,000 miles. They advise such consumption is frustrating for a new car but may be a manufacturing quality issue VW seems to acknowledge, urging regular oil checks and noting no safety impact.
