richgti97 0 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 just finished puttin vr6 engine in my mk3 gti.. first start today.. ran it for about 20mins, to bleed all fluids (coolant, power steering fluid etc.) seem too be running sound.. but checked oil filler cap and there is some white on there.. however the car i removed the engine from had been sat for maybe 7months or longer. Should i worry or will it have something to do with this been the first time its ran for such a long period? cheers Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Let it run for a bit and then change the oil and filter especially if it has been stood for a while. Check your expansion bottle for an oil film on top of the coolant. Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 as above replace oil and filter and coolant and take for a good hard drive. If it comes back then get a sniff test done. Link to post Share on other sites
