2008 Volkswagen Jetta Oil Problems..........................?

1. Man Says: I bought a brand new Jetta 2.0T in 2008. It uses a ton of oil. I have to add a quarter of oil every 1,000 miles. I talk to the dealership about it and they did a diagnostic and told me that everything was fine. I feel like here is something wrong with it. Has anyone else had a problem like this?

2. Rob Says: that's too much oil usage. if the car is still under warranty the service manager / dealer might be trying to put you off without fixing the problem.
