Golf 7 1.4 2013 eating oil.
So where do i start.. I have a 2013 Golf 7 1.4 Tsi and its eating oil at around 1L to every 1000km. Right after its last service under warranty. Conveniently so. This kind of thing has put me off VW completely. You pay 340k for a car and it cant last past 70k km.
I have taken the car to VW so many times and all they can tell me is its normal and within acceptable usage. Then why is this such a common thing with the 2013 model. There is post after post online with people having the same issue. VW refuses to accept that they have created a dud and sold it to people. I have spoken to three workshop managers and all of them hang their heads in shame and tell me they see this all the time but they cant do anything about it. It seems VW will only step in when the cars on it's last legs. And now that its out of warranty, they definitely not interested in my problems, even though all of the below issues happened in warranty. Dont even get me started on the fact that VW will charge you 90k to pull the engine apart. Thats half the trade in value of the car.
The list of failures on this car is ridiculous.
I have horrible suspension creaking and clanking on the front. One of the engine mount bolts came loose and stripped itself somehow. The Turbo actuator makes a horrible rattling sound. (This was fixed with a small clip. As per VW. But noise it back) There is constant hydraulic lifter tapping (I'm assuming) Also probably from the fact that the oil is always low.
Its just endless with this car. The oil consumption bothers me so much. Time and time again VW just put their head in the sand and aren't interested in my problems.
