I took the 2013 Beetle TDI (has 27k miles) out of town (115 miles) and when I started it today it had a tick/ very mild knock. Yes I know it's a diesel but it's never made this sound before. I shut it off and waited a couple minutes and checked the oil and it was below the cross-hatched area on the dipstick. I then waited 1 1/2 hours and checked and it now touches the cross hatch area. It still makes the noise but after taking it on a 5-6 mile drive and it warmed up a little, and the noise is pretty much gone now.
It's been almost 8k miles since the last oil change and I know a quart in 8k miles isn't a big deal, but about 8k miles into the last oil change I checked the oil and it was still full so this consumption is recent. I'm thinking of taking it to the dealer and having them top it off and make them monitor the consumption from now on. I also don't hear of much oil consumption with diesels.
