Oil consumption for 2.0L 8V - solved?

#11

My daughter has just taken delivery of a 2007 city golf with 2.0 litre
engine
and it has not burnt a drop in the first 1000kms.
However my 2003 with low tension rings burns 1 litre every 1500 kms.
Has done since day one and is now at 50,000kms.

My only frustration is the VW will not admit their error and probably won't
help when my Cat fails early
due to excessive oil burning.

The "City Golf" is only sold in Canada, and is just a slightly re-
optioned A4, at a very attractive price. It has the 8V 2.0L engine.

no need to worry because VW in the USA only has the new 2.5L & 2L-SFI in
that car. The old 2l is gone.

Yeah I have heard that after replacing the rings on some engines the oil
consumption basically disappeared! :-)
I'll keep watching this oil burning '03 Golf 2.0 engine to see what VW does.

thanks,

Maybe it is how the engines are broken in initially or ?????

No, really, it's the rings. Honest!

I have an '83 GTi engine (in my '83 Audi 4000s) with 240K miles and it
does not use much if any oil.

None of my other Vee-Dubs used oil. Had the bad valve guide seals in my
'85, but other than that, no oil issues.
