oolubs 0 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Had a look underneath and a chat with my local VW dealer, There should be a cap and nut at the bottom of the oil filter housing which isn't there a weird one for sure, but still doesnt explain why when I took the cap off it had Yellowy oil on it, and I think the whole housing is leaking, as fresh oil on top of it.price for the cap and nut is a total ofg £8.94p, I really hope that is all maybe a few seals but hopefully nothing major.Nathan Link to post Share on other sites

thomas2012 0 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 to see if it is your head do 2 easy tests one Compression test via your plugs the second is Compression test via your expansion bottle and if you wish to be completely sure do a co2 test of your water to see if there are any exhust gases in them Link to post Share on other sites
