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.

Consult a reputable VW specialist to get an independent opinion on the misfire, what it is and whether it is normal.
