ECP LIGHT REMAINS ON WHILE DRIVING AUDI A4 2005 MODEL...WHAT COULD BE THE CAUSE?

EPC light on can be triggered by (for example) unplugged or otherwise not working MAF (mass air flow) sensor.

Have your car scanned for codes (Autozone, or someone with VCDS (VAGcom) and post your codes.

2006 VW new Beetle Convertible check engine light, ecp, and asr lights keep coming on. Car sometimes runs rough or stall.

NO! The dealer is just wasting your money. Tell them stop guessing and get things fixed. Go to AutoZone or similar and have them read codes for you. The problem with all the lights probably related.

This is quite an excessive amount of oil consumption. Unless you have noticed a leak under the car I would say that it probably has an internal part failure. You may be burning the oil in a cylinder with bad rings, or a gasket may be sending it into you cooling system.
I would have a good service technician check the engine out to find where the oil is going.
You shouldn't use more then a 1/2 a liter between oil changes unless you have a leak.
