Seademon 0 Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Sounds like its just condenation - you would get that on most cars if you do short journeys or as you say - the cars just been started once a week etc. Check the coolant to see if theres any oil been mixed in there and check the dipstick - if its got the same milky look to it then you've possibly got a head gasket problem. Might aswell get it serviced aswell or at least an oil change if its not been done in 15k miles. Mine gets changed every 6 months no matter how many miles the cars done.

stockers 1 Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 as seademon says, the vr is a 'wet' engine and condensation is par for the course.doesn't sound like anything to worry about, change the oil and filter and take it for a good hour journey on the motorway, you'll proberbly find the cream disapears.
