16V burns quart of oil per 1000miles

Larry,

I call foul, all manufacturers have a consumption chart for their engines.
And I believe acceptable comsumption for VW is 1 quart per 1000 to
1500miles.

No engine that is properly built with good parts, and is in good shape will
use oil.
Period.
Something is not right with an engine that burns or leaks oil.

  I put a used 2L block in my 16V and it went goes thru about 1qt per 1000
  miles.  TT says that the 2L goes thru more oil because the oil rings are
1mm
  thinner.

  There is a nice clean 84 Jetta FS on vortex, the car has 300k miles and
the
  engine/tranny has 200k.

  I am thinking about buying it. The seller is pretty straightforward and
told
  me that it burns some oil. A quart for every 1000miles is not that bad,
  right ?

  check it out, its a white 4 door GLi. We never got 2 door GLis in the
States
  ?

  I think that he took good care of it, and I might buy it on Sat.

  thanks and lemme know what you think of it pls.

  Marko
