It looks like we have one possibly two leaky injector seals 1 and 2 have a little pool of oil at their seat. The last breakdown we had was a random fault that came up fuel pressure sensor implausible signal and the lambada the same it started drinking fuel after that I’m guessing these are all...

Jeez! Thank you for your reply. It has a new gear spline set put in by a DSG specialist 6 months ago and it runs like a dream. I'm just hoping it's a seal somewhere or the transmission pan!

Hi there, Watch this video, different car but same pump and mentions how difficult the pipe is to remove. Probably worth replacing the pipe if it is loose as it will be causing a vacuum issue. Also if there is oil here then the seals are probably leaking inside. Good luck

Also tally’s up with the oil change as the new oil would be thicker so can not pass the seals as easy.

Do 2 compression tests a couple of weeks apart. Mine was showing good compression, but on the second, it was showing really poor. He thinks it was oil that must have leaked, though, and created a seal.

...wrong oil, maybe dirty oil, maybe fuel In oil……..? Maybe….. I’m suspicious of the fuel In oil theory as I have an oil leak from crankshaft oil seal (which I’ll address when po299 issue is resolved), the oil seems to leak and spread quickly around the oil seal and Sump , as if its viscosity...

Still the same! I’m planning on doing the crank seal slight weep of oil…timing kit and replacing the gear in case it’s a bit worn. One thing I did notice is the timing tensioner seems to move slightly not whilst running but if you check day to day it definitely shift a few mm which is a concern...

...oil on the right side of the engine. With only 10 days to our ferry booking took the van to Fife Autotech who diagnosed a leaking crankshaft oil seal (surprise,surprise) but also a leak from the sump plug which had been changed at an oil service at the main dealer in April. They managed to...

Unless it's 75w 521 71 spec as suggested in the link above...One example : Mobil 75w GL4 Halfords, GSF, Euro car parts all list oils with the above spec when I type in my number plate and it's been in my manual 'box for 50 000 miles so far with no issues... Out if interest, where have you seen...

The beauty of the HEL unit is, you can swap the thermostat within the unit, I have a 102 fitted, and a 92 on the box in case it doesn’t cool enough for me, the inline thermostat will be mounted up near the battery so I can swap it out without dropping the oil. I made some real progress with...

Yes I mad sue it was new oil and filter in the price. Also the sump fractured when removing but they are standing this replacement ! She is at 120k now was going to replace but new van same + spec was £65k decided to keep it running as wife is retiring this year and i have given myself 2 years...

They’ve had the cover off to do the crank pulley oil seal today and reckon it’s coming from above and behind, hence not doing that job until there is certainty. In their words ‘it’s as if someone has spilled oil when topping up’. That’s the area that it has come down from. However, I did the...

Thanks for the reply, sorry I didn't get back to you, I can't recall the part number but I bought the plastic version of the oil filter housing you have to remove the egr completely but since I posted this I haven't had a chance to get stuck in and pull the front off to do it. I have the egr...

Hi guys I’m new to the forum. I recently carried out my first oil and filter change since buying my T6. I noticed on all the previous main dealers oil services that they charged for a new sump plug. So naturally assuming it had a crush washer I purchased one with the oil filter. However on...

...under and fix it (thanks to you!) Now just have to deal with what looks like excessive oil from the filter housing and nearside driveshaft oil seal. Luckily the boot that perished on the offside shaft is still under warranty and they have agreed to send me a whole new driveshaft. I can't...

...jointing residue on the contact area it will be filling the rough machined finish. Obviously anything internal or external isn’t serving any oil sealing purpose. I would advise to thoroughly degrease and apply to the sealing face as the garage mech’ stated, be sure to torque down correctly...

As I understand it (not this type of filter on my van) When you unscrew the filter cap, any oil in the filter drains into the sump, so it should be OK to remove and check for any faults on the O ring or debris causing the seal not to seal.

Adding to the long list of bills - new set of glow plugs (once they could get them out) and pressure sensor, new rocker cover gasket, new injector seals and an engine clean to get rid of the oil that had leaked from the rocker cover. The adventures of the bright orange money pit continue - I am...

...of time, after a short drive it would have excessive burnt oil smoke from the exhaust. Subsequently, the garage decided it would be bore/piston rings or valve stem oil seals. they compression checked it dry, and then put some oil in the bore, thus confirming it was bore and not valve stem...

...to change them. Coilsprings snap surprisingly often now days. Nothing too concerning there. Oil leak, most likely crank oil seal. Lot's of info on here. Mine weeps a bit. If not excessive not something that would concern me. Again easy to visually check if excessive and needs rectification...
