I have a 75 Rabbit and had the valve seals replaced for $130. To solve the problem permanently you have to get a valve job which costs on the order of $500, otherwise the oil burning will start to reappear in another 10,000 miles. I have no idea which the recall will pay for but my guess is the cheaper fix! ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
