For anyone new to VW, you may be interested to know that some of their engines go through 1 ltr of oil every 5000km. I first learnt about it with the EOS 2.0 TSI engine & after checking with friends who owned a Golf GTI & Audi TT I soon realised it was a common theme. This wouldn't be so much a problem if the oil wasn't so expensive and specific. Here is a picture of the liquid gold.
There is a lot of information out there about why it happens, although the dealer will typically explain it's due to 'harder' driving styles. Make sure you ask for a bottle when purchasing a new vehicle, as it will get you through to at least the first service.
