Purchased new 2001 Jetta in August of 2000, gls 2.0L engine and it has always been burning/losing oil. About 1 qt evey 1000 miles driven. Cannot understand and oil consumption test by vwof a in July of 2002 said it was normal even after breakin period. Car currently has 46,000 miles. I am pissed off still and I am basically putting a quart of oil in every month plus 2 oil changes a year. This normal oil consumtion is costing a fortune and this was never disclosed to me when I purchased the car new. No mention of it in the service manual and vwof a has a tsb out there but I would like to see a new engine.

I had a coil pack burn out on my 2001 VW Jetta - it has 21000 miles. It appears to be a known problem and many people are experiencing this failure. VW (and Audi) will only replace coils when they individually burn out. VW/Audi should recall and replace all coils either at the time of burn out or before it becomes an issue. The number of people who have had this problem suggest that the coils are either defective or the design of the vehicle is faulty. The manufacturer should be responsible for this even if the vehicles warranty has expired.
