What is the "official VW Oil Consumption Tolerance" for getting the vehicle looked at and repaired.

1L per 2000km

Berwick volkswagen told me 1L/1000km on saturday when I was in there.

I think I can can comfortably say mine uses more than that...

Yeah, 500ml per 1000km was mentioned to me. So I guess that works out to Oil warning light every 2000km.

It used to be 1L per 1000km, but since about 1 year ago it dropped to 0.5L per 1000km. (its in your owners manual)

0.5L per 1000KM on any VW engine.......VDUB....

These levels of oil consumption in the 21st century are totally out of line. My first POS car 35 years ago used less than this, blew blue not black smoke though & was put off the road!!!

I'm inclined to agree
