Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2000 beetle. bought it used with a extended warranty. the problem started few months after the buying it. the consumption of oil is outrageous. i have to change the oil every 800 miles. i took the car to the dealer, the dealer performed a consumption oil test, and according with their test the consumption of oil was within the standards of a regular consumption. having to check the oil level every 800 miles is stressful. few week ago i had to change the spark plug because the car wouldn't start. *jb
