The GTI is notorious for burning oil.
My MY06 GTI oil consumption started getting noticable at around 80k.
At the 120k mark, it consistently burned ~1L per 3,000km. So while that is not uncommon nor serious, it doesn't make it any less annoying.
I've recently switched from 5W30 504/507 spec to 5W40 502/505 spec oil at the 135k service.
Checked it after 3700km and dip stick was between min and half way. I topped up 700ml.
Based on my single sample, it will burn ~1L per 5,000km which is a significant improvement.
Driving is 65% city and 35% freeways with few short trips. 90% is driving to work and back.
Let me know your consumption details.
I'll update this thread over time.
