Hi,

I have noticed that the engine cover on my vRS (TFSI) is 'oily', especially by the two small rectangualr cut-outs on the left hand side by the oil filler cap.

I cleaned the area the other day, but now those two cut-outs are 'oily' again.

Does anybody:

A) know what I am talking about , and,

know what might be causing it?

BTW, car was recently serviced, so should not have been overfilled.

Thanks

BTW, car was recently serviced, so should not have been overfilled.

It sounds entirely likely that it may have been overfilled at service but I could be wrong.

That could be PCV failure and i believe if oil is present in that area it could be. Take a look at the common faults section in the Octavia MKII section, you will find what is needed to fix. Apparantly it's not a big issue but having said that i don't have this problem so have never investigated...........Good luck..
