Some Volkswagen Jetta owners with a 2.0L engine report experiencing excessive oil consumption, necessitating the addition of significant amounts of oil between changes, with some adding 1-2 quarts every six months. This high oil consumption is often attributed to a clogged or dirty Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system, particularly prevalent in Gen 2 engines, which has led to a poor reputation for these Volkswagen engines. Additionally, reports indicate that the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta has had cases of excessive oil consumption, with an average failure mileage of 18,500 miles. Many owners also note that leaking rings contribute to the issue, allowing oil to escape and resulting in increased consumption. It is advisable for affected owners to check the PCV system, monitor oil levels regularly, and consult with a mechanic to address any underlying problems.
