sleepyVR 0 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Need some advice on what happened to my mk2 VR today. I dont drive the VR in the winter, its parked up. Its been 3 weeks since i haven't fired it up. I relised that there was no water in the resivoir tank, i assumed that might have leaked out of 1 of the pipes. So i topped it up. Got the jump leads out and jump started it. Didn't sound to good and was running rough with a nocking sound. I quickly switched it off. The oil on the dip stick was grey/cream to my dissapoinment :-( Since iv had the car iv never put anti freeze because i dont drive it in the winter. I suppose this wrong? The water has never been treated. Do you think this is what caused the problem?Appreciate your help...... Link to post Share on other sites
