well your burning oil either way..
does it burn just on start up? cause if thats the case its probably valves.. sh1tty deal
but if its burns constantly its probably blowby.. which is also sh1tty deal

But neither situation could be that terrible. If you have blowby, then rings aren't that expensive, but its a few hundred in parts to do because you have to pull the head and drop the oil pan. Valves, cheaper.

if the car runs doesnt feel sluggish or anythin then im guessin the valve seals. maybe do a compression test cause it could be just one or two cylinders

Re: blue smoke coming out of my muffler (volkstallion)
When are you getting blue smoke? At all times? Under hard acceleration? Under deceleration?
At startup - valve seals
At all times - rings
Under hard acceleration - rings
Under decelration - vavle seals
None of these are "good", per se.

first check the compression. You might have oil getting to the air filter box and getting burned. Only use 4 qts of oil not 4.7. VW revised it back in 88

?
All VW oil pans for 1.8L engines (2L as well?) are identical, I thought, and hold 4.7 quarts of oil if you change the oil filter. If you don't, its 4.2 quarts. When I changed my oil and filter and put in 4.7 quarts, it was perfect on the dipstick mark and didn't burn a thing. Although manuals are wrong from time to time, I know the Bentley for my Corrado is not.
