U might need a rebore, if the motor has done loads of milage... not just a honing of the bores.
U more than likely have worn rings or maybe even broken rings (easy to tell if there is white smoke them more than likely your problem) , so it's not sealing against the bore on the compression stroke.
I'm with Piper on this one if you going to open up the motor to change the rings, u might as well rebuild the whole bottom end.
Rebore, Machine the crank and balance all components, new pistons (I mean VW pistsons are so cheap) , rings bearing, water pump, oil pump
Doing all this and u will have a motor that if done properly will run strong for another 100 000km at least.
Thanx 4 the info buddy, but all the above will be done then i know i have a complete new engine,
NB:We can i get a second hand brachers 4 my car any suggestions!!!
