I just went through this on my 2018 Passat SE with massive oil consumption. Get the dealer to do a oil consumption test. Mine failed on the 2nd test and had the rings and pistons replaced. Then it happened again less than 1000 miles afterwards (used 1.8qt in about 700 miles) and I just got my car back today after the long block was replaced (Basically they replaced the engine).
