I understand that many forum members believe that the unusual consumption of oil in our 1999 VW Beetle GLS with a 2.0L engine was a fault of VW by assembling piston rings backwards (upside down).

Can anyone please assist in recommending what parts should be changed if the drastic step of removing & opening up our model engine to stop the oil burning is taken.

Also knowing if we should use the OEM parts, and if not, who to get improved after market parts from is appreciated.

(always having to check the engine oil & refill it is for the birds)

Thank you.
