I have a 75 Rabbit and had the valve seals replaced for $130. To solve the problem permanently you have to get a valve job which costs on the order of $500, otherwise the oil burning will start to reappear in another 10,000 miles. I have no idea which the recall will pay for but my guess is the cheaper fix!
