How much we talking ? I seem to remember reading that VW state TFSI can use up to 1 litre every 1000km (621miles)

My ED30 didn't use anything between 3-4000 oil changes, so something isn't right there.

White crusties on the spark plugs - the engine is burning it. Clean plugs - it's leaking past the turbine shaft seal.
