Because of this, the units begin to actively consume oil, operate intermittently, may stall, or completely fail.
Car owners demand that the concern launch an official recall campaign to fix the defect. Volkswagen, in turn, assures that no malfunction exists. Moreover, according to the manufacturer's standards, oil consumption of up to 0.5 liters per thousand kilometers for these power units is an acceptable indicator.
It is noteworthy that the filed class action did not cite a single case where consumption exceeded this norm. The company uses this argument as the main one, asking the court to refuse to satisfy the plaintiffs' claims.
It is worth mentioning that increased oil demand is a typical feature of modern turbocharged engines, especially when the car is operated intensively or serviced off-schedule.
