Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    That's not going to last very long.

    They didnt mention anything about rehoning the bores??
    I would think the dealer's service department would have a reasonable idea as to the process of fitting new rings to an engine.

    Anyway, I thought this thread was about DSG behaviour.

      Have had a number of dealer workshops prove to me before that they don't.

      I'm assuming a service manager and not a mechanic has passed the information about new rings onto Chardy.

        IIRC the latest trend in engines is to have very light pressure on the rings to reduce friction (and therefore fuel consumtion) and wear. Sometimes this doesn't work out so well, and the engine consumes too much oil. Hopefully it will work better for Chardy this time around (but I'd prefer to have the bores re-honed as well, then vigorous running-in again).
