[Vwdiesel] Ring job done but no help

 Just another how long kind of question. The one engine shop here that does
diesels and is well respected, said that they have seen diesels break in
within a few hundred miles and then seen one that the individual wasn't
giving up on and at 8k miles it stopped using oil.  I think in my case, I'm
going threw a qt every 400 miles or so, now with close to 4k on the engine I
will wait and see. Oil isn't to expensive and since I'm getting 44mpg out of
it and it runs great, starts fine, I can afford to let it "work in" so to
speak if that is what you can call it.

no need to worry about about oil usage since a quart/couple hundred 
miles isn't abnormal for new rings.
