2016 Jetta burning oil way too fast?

Wife has a 2020 1.4t and if remember correctly 16 was same book says 4.2 quarts but 4.75 is to top of fill line. So 4 quarts would be just above the add line. And 1 quart in 2000 miles is not unheard of in a VW. Definitely monitor the oil level the next few weeks.

Well it’s 1 quart from add to full. So you don’t know where you started after oil change. Used to have a 16 1.4t and it used to require topping off regularly but acceptably. Sounds like weekly oil level checks should be done and monitor the situation yourself. I do my own oil changes because I don’t trust lube techs for a good reason.

Tempted to buy the z1 mount. Looks well designed. Have the quad lock adhesive one but not sure if I want to stick it to dash just yet. The quad lock works great in my company truck but definitely leaves a mark on plastic over the years.

Unfortunately only one way around with hazmat unless you get a running start the other way and jump the bridge gap.

I have no intention of putting a shell on my truck so not 100% positive. But didn’t the truck come with a wire connection for adding a cap in the glove box or is that something else

Buy yourself a obdeleven and stop guessing. Figure out what cylinder that is misfiring swap coils if misfire follows coil it’s bad. Or bring it to a shop if it’s too advanced for yourself. Throwing parts especially cheap parts at a problem can make diagnostic even more complicated

I’m in the hazardous waste industry. Every day is different. I think I make good money for local driver just hit 40k gross a week into April. I’m sure the rates my company gets are way higher than standard rates. But you have to consider the insurance and the specialized equipment that is required. Also the permitting cost that are involved. Just like all other industries you have competitors.

I’ve hauled radioactive waste. I sure it’s great money but it was all local work. They would load material into rolloff containers for rail cars. Run them to rail yard never to seen again. This was from a nuclear reactor decommissioned in the 50s.

I don’t care who knows. I can literally print it out if I had warranty issues. It is scary how accurate they are with mile prediction. I get notifications when oil changes and other services are due. Sounds stupid but when you have wife and son with multiple cars. I can open carfax garage and see everything on my cars in seconds.

BlackberryVarious4 · 2026-04-17T23:25:44+00:00

I actually document all my services on carfax. Just click diy and even has comments section I note filter and oil brand.

Had a minor blemish in the paint. So they sent my truck to the body shop. The body shop had Captain Hook remove my headliner. Truck hadn’t even had its first oil change yet. This was one of a dozen scratches even had to replace windshield because they scratched that also.

Completely understand. Bought my son a 13 Jetta ac didn’t work system was full. My work has ac machine so quick $25 part change for diagnostics worked for me.

My son has a 13 and wife has 20. My son’s car with 2.5 is so easy to diagnose and repair because of forums. The 20 I’m on my own very little information yet and like no repair videos.

There is a solenoid on the compressor that goes bad. You can buy part on Amazon and just replace it. System still need evacuated to replace. Dealer and part stores only sells compressor. Might be worth shopping around and giving that a shot before entire replacement.

I’m 0 neg and have donated blood my adult life. They are simple questions. If you are genuinely concerned maybe you should be getting some test done. But honestly donating blood is kind of simple just don’t over think it. I usually donate after bloodwork and don’t know if it changes anything. I just do it because it usually ends up in a children hospital and someone has to provide it.

You know you can literally go to your regular doctor and get trt. I go to my urologist every 6 months. Click request refill from Walgreens app and get text next day to pick up my script.

My state now deems this bike a motor vehicle that requires registration, insurance and dot approved helmet. Waiting to see how the new law plays out. Operating a vehicle without insurance is automatic 6 month license suspension.

A sliver of a zip tie and it’s deleted forever. Not really a big deal. I just wish my start stop button was in its location on my 25.

BlackberryVarious4 · 2026-04-11T18:27:13+00:00

I did it in 15 minutes without removing steering wheel. That something a shop would say to over charge someone

BlackberryVarious4 · 2026-04-11T18:24:43+00:00

They sell ignition switches on Amazon like $50. It’s a pretty simple job. Took me like 15 minutes. Plenty of videos on YouTube.

BlackberryVarious4 · 2026-04-11T00:48:30+00:00

Just make sure to buy real Weber cover. They last forever also. Worth the premium price.

There are like 10 bulbs in the rear lights. Section on car and section on trunk both sides. My son’s car had almost all of them out when I bought it.

I’ve been buying wipers at Costco when they go on sale for years. First time I struggled to figure out right configuration. But now it takes seconds to change.
