Subject:      Diesel vanagon high oil consumption
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1; format=flowed

Hi all!
I own a 1982 N/A diesel vanagon that was converted to 1.6l TD.
It runs and starts very good and even tough the compression is very good
(475,475,475,450) it burns quite a lot of oil. About 1 quart every 150 miles
in the worse.
I know bad oil rings may be the cause but i have been told that due to the
incline of the engine in the vanagon, some kind of oil bypass tube used by
the turbo should be modified. If it is not, some oil might just go back to
the turbo and be burnt by the engine.
I suspect this modification was not done.
Some of you know about this?


Thanks in advance!
