2010 VRS Petrol, oil leak Help please?

Featured Replies

Hi All

 

It looks as if I have an oil leak where the air intake from the airbox disappears behind the rear of the engine. The top hard plastic tube connects to a rubber connector behind the engine. I've attached some photos but access is very tight and its impossible to see any splits etc in the tubes. I also had a fault code 000369 fuel trim bank 1 system too lean about a month ago when I did a longer journey, I reset the fault and it did not return, there is no rough running at any speeds but it does look as if the inlet tubing might have a small split somewhere, car has done 65k miles. I wonder if this is a common issue that someone may know about who could pinpoint the offending part and whats required to swap it out.

Any advice appreciated?IMG_0924.thumb.jpg.ef249df1daf50b5e23b3b8eb6ee66f6c.jpgIMG_0922.thumb.jpg.a94a96db8395dd961e1604a353eb1045.jpgIMG_0925.thumb.jpg.e6b8e656a1d7f5e17e549e3f5cfc9b8d.jpg

I'm wondering if this could be the PCV, I replaced the pipe and rubber to the turbo but TBH the old one one looked OK. During a test drive shortly afterwards the car started running rough on idle with the the CEL flickering on and off, which cleared itself after giving it a boot down the road, put my cheapy diagnostic tool on after and it said misfire on cyl 4. I had the PCV off and it all looks ok underneath with the orange valve moving ok, but the symptons do relate to a you tube video from Deutshe auto parts?

 

I see Febi Bilstein do a replacement PCV which is alot cheaper than the dealer part, can anyone vouch for this part, Febi are usually pretty good quality in my experience

 

Many thanks
