These early 1.4's had a bad habit of suffering ring trouble & breather issues. Some of these engines were replaced under warranty back in the day for oil consumption - complete engine, VW didn't bother trying to repair. Oil burners are difficult to get through the emissions & will have demolished those 2 x new cats by next year. As a rule cars used for pottering about were more likely to suffer this. on September 12, 2015, 7:39 am, in reply to "Re: VW Golf 1.4 16V-emissions fail. What is wrong?"
