Looks like a nice clean car,bit out of my price range at the mo,but if you still got it when I get some more money I'll be in contact. Good luck with your sale anyway

Gonna get one when I'm near my local TPS Cheers dazz

Well had a clean up and top up the oil and made sure the cap was seated properly ,then I ran the engine until it was warn and no signs of anymore oil leaking. I haven't taken it for a drive yet because I want to clean the under tray of all the oil as I don't want it getting on to the brake disc. But all looks fine so far. Cheers dazz

Most of the oil is over the fan and mostly like its sprayed forwards,no signs of oil around the case or rocker cover. Maybe it's one of the oil hoses split that come out of the bottom of the filter housing. Cheers dazz

Just went and had a look,took the cap off inspected it and it looks fine ,so I put it back on and tightened it down fine and its sitting better. It was November when I did the service so why would it suddenly happen,do you think its been working itself loose ,because I might of not done it tight enough? Anyway do you reckon I could drain out what's left and refill with new and it should be alright? Cheers dazz

I don't think so to but why would it suddenly releave itself of oil after a few months and a few thousand miles? Strange.

Hi there, I have a 07 plate fabia with a 1.4tdi pd 80 in it,and today my wife calls me saying that the oil light has come on flashing and said the car stalled ,so she coasted on to our drive luckily enough . So this confused me because I had checked the oil on Sunday before a long drive home and everything was fine. Anyway when I got home I notice a pool of oil running down the drive, So I opened the bonnet to find oil has sprayed all over the front of the engine bay, To me it looks like the cap on the oil filter has come undone or has been blown open ?the cap is sitting a bit wonky and the oring is sticking out. I made sure this was tight when I did the oil change a few months ago could this be the problem ? Has anybody experienced this? What else could it be and what shoul I look at checking to get this sorted? All help appreciated thanks dazz

Well from what I've read it is cleaner for the engine which has got to be a good thing and my mpg called do with being a bit higher . I have cleaned my egr out a few months ago and it was clogged up with black carbon deposits,but I need to take it off again because at the time I didn't have a gasket for the inlet manifold,and I know that needs cleaning out. So I thought as I was going to be doing that should I delete the egr altogether? Cheers dazz

Anybody

Hi there, Been thinking of doing a egr delete on my mk2 1.4tdi because of the benefits of doing it ,but am thinking because the government are trying to get rid of diesels will the mot man now fail your car if you have one fitted. Also is doing the elephant mod a must ? All help appreciated thanks dazz

Sorry it's been so long ,but job done but no difference in economy

Well I got a 60k service coming up,just contacted my local indie garage and they said £60+vat ANC might need the pollen filter doing at and extra £12. Suppose I could do that for half price,I got a vacuum syphon as well is this the method they use? Cheers

Well I can't see us selling it for a long time.

Hi there sorry for hi jacking the post. Interesting read,when would you say it's not worth getting the service book stamped? I have been fixing and servicing cars as a hobby for years ,but have been getting my 07 plate serviced by a garage because the misses wants to get the book stamped but I know I can save Money doing it myself. So if I start servicing it myself do you think it would make a difference in resale value now . Cheers

Still waiting for the maf cleaner,but I am away until Tuesday ,so shall report back next week . Cheers
