Being in the process of fixing said problem on my B,
here's how to manifest this problem very noticeable.
Drive the car along at about 3000 in top for
a minute or so. Brake to about 2000 in top then
accelerate back without downshifting. Voila, smoke.
I just pulled all the pistons on my B and out of
all four pistons, two rings each, I recovered a grand
total of ONE intact ring.
And this was an engine that seemed to run fine as
long as you didn't look in the rearview.
