Volkswagen as a representative model of German cars, the status in the country can be said to be very high, the car is very popular, everywhere, small to entry-level cars, large to high-end cars almost all covered, if you have been paying attention to the Volkswagen model, you may find that burning oil seems to have become a common disease of Volkswagen, even if there is a situation of burning oil, but Volkswagen is still buying more people, according to the data show that FAW - Volkswagen sales in March 126131, combined with the sales data released by other car companies, FAW-Volkswagen is currently the number one sales volume among all car companies. Even if Volkswagen has the problem of burning engine oil, it still does not affect its own sales.
As Volkswagen's car burning oil is derived from the early second generation of ea888 engines, and the engines using this model almost all have the inevitable burning of oil, the official explanation is normal consumption, so what is normal consumption? From the professional statement to analyze, that is, in a maintenance cycle the oil consumption is too fast, you must add oil to the maintenance cycle, the other is the professional statement to burn the oil, is to determine that the oil into the cylinder combustion and consumption. Volkswagen belongs to the second statement, but these are related to the design of the cylinder inside the engine, and the internal structure of the traditional model engine is different, the cylinder wall of the traditional model is a smooth surface, and when the piston does reciprocating movement, it can take away the excess oil on the cylinder wall through the piston ring, and the Volkswagen second-generation ea888 and ea211 engines use a mesh structure on the cylinder inner wall design, and the piston will be difficult to remove excess oil because of the mesh design when the piston is in reciprocating motion. This leads to the appearance of burning oil.
Even if there is a situation of burning oil, but it does not affect people to buy, Volkswagen models are currently in the domestic market share, 4s stores everywhere, the general procurement and maintenance of accessories are very convenient, no matter where basically do not have to worry about no accessories, plus many cars are platform-based production, it can be said that many accessories are universal, plus the Retention Rate of Volkswagen used cars is relatively high. This is also the main consideration of many people when buying a car. On the other hand, even if there is a situation of burning oil, there is no big problem under the current 4S maintenance system, as long as it is regularly inspected and replaced, the Volkswagen engine often travels four or five hundred thousand kilometers without overhaul is a common thing, does not affect the normal use of the vehicle.
In short, Volkswagen knows best Chinese careful thinking about buying a good face of a car, just from the product point of view, Volkswagen's model is more able to meet, even if there is a situation of burning oil and repaired Volkswagen still does not affect the public feelings of car buyers.
