VW Golf using oil

My daughter's 2003 VW Golf is using excessive oil. It has only travelled 103,000 km. Is there a problem with this particular model?

VW engines use oil, but that's not necessarily a problem. It depends on how much it's using, and while you say it's using an excessive amount of oil, you don't say how much. I would do an actual check to determine the amount of oil it is using, which will give you a good guide as to whether it is excessive or not.
