It's really a great car overall..I used mine to drive the family around and still did autocross with it. Their are some areas like others have mentioned to get checked out.

The valve covers may leak and drip on the plastic water pump housing causing a leak. If that hasn't been upgraded to the metal one get that done. We went through two of the plastic ones under warranty. Other than that I had no issues with the car.

Pros: great car overall

Cons: valve covers may leak

Vehicle: Volkswagen

I had my valve cover replaced due to it dying while on low rpm and idling. The valve cover has the pcv, n80, and other important components integrated within. So it can be a problem for many reasons. This solved all my issues that the dealer could not figure out.

Pros: solved all my issues

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Today I thoroughly went through and around the block and finally found a leak which is common on the back side of the valve cover and sourced it all the way towards the front corner that’s hidden in the opening between the valve cover and timing cover so needs a new valve cover, and possibly a new coil as cylinder 1 was mis firing and probably from the oil getting onto the coil

Pros: found valve cover leak

Cons: cylinder 1 misfiring

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

Just an update for those following this; 11,000 miles since I replaced the VC. I've changed the oil 2 times and and about to do number 3. Zero consumption between changes. Not counting the changes it has burned nothing in 11k miles.

Pros: zero consumption

Cons: burning oil

Mileage: 11000 km

Pros: haven't lost a drop

Cons: burning oil

Mileage: 600 km

It certainly possible. That was my experience, my plugs looked like that and worse. For me number 3 was soaking wet with oil. since replacing my cover I have zero oil loss over 5000 mile OCI, and my plugs stay dry.

Pros: zero oil loss, plugs dry

Cons: plugs soaking wet

Verdict: IT WAS THE VALVE COVER. Not the gasket, the cover itself. Mine was cracked a lot and had broken baffles in there. I was sucking all that oil through the VC and into the manifold and into the engine. Dealer replaced the VC and ran the oil consumption test. Perfect. Zero drop in oil and no smoking.

Pros: Zero drop in oil

Cons: cracked, broken baffles
