Volkswagen Polo 2011: High oil consumption in GTI
It's not uncommon to hear of excessive oil consumption on the Polo GTI. The first course of action is to take it to the dealer and have them do another oil consumption test on it. I agree with you, oil consumption of 750 ml per 2000 km is too much. If the dealer can't help go directly to VW and ask head office to intervene. In the meantime we will contact VW and ask for their response.

Having communicated with VW, and lodging a complaint with the Department of Fair Trading you have done just about everything you can do, other than take direct legal action. What you need to do now is be strong and persistent, and let VW know in no uncertain terms that you will not go away, that you want the problem resolved.

Volkswagen Polo 2011: Misfiring upon idle
Consult a reputable VW specialist to get an independent opinion on the misfire, what it is and whether it is normal. Armed with that advice go back to the dealer and VW and ask for a meeting to discuss/Â resolve the issue in the hope of finding a way forward. If that fails then go to the consumer affairs people in your state.
