    try cutting the end of the pipe off then reattach as after a while they either go really hard or soft where they attach to the motor,other than that i use cable tie one around the end of the pipe and another onto the body of the motor and around the pipe so its nice and secure

    Sorry to hijack your thread but the switch on top of the filter housing all on it own' date=' is that the oil temp sensor for the mfd ?? I snapped mine off nad dont know weather its oil pressure or oil temp.. the one with the green wire going to it... And bk to topic, if yours leaked out of the hole to the left of the filter housing, what you said was the copper ring, thats where the dip stick goes, i think theres a o ring there.. yours prob only leasked because you had the rear jacked up so high the oil level rose ablove the hole for the dip stick...

    new sensors are about max 20 quid you can get them from vw or get a copy one from your local car parts place,replace it so you can make sure its not a oil pump problem as that could cost you £££££££££££

    check to see if the garage is registered with the RMI or Good Garage Scheme as you can complain to them other than that tell him to do one he has damaged it he should repair it as long as he didnt warn you it could happen which i expect he wouldnt of. if he still wont budge pay by cheque get your keys then cancel the cheque when you get home lol, seeing this does my head in as being a mechanic myself it gives us a really bad name,if i had done it and was my fault i would of repaired it free of charge!!! find yourself a different garage look out for one' in the good garage scheme and in the RMI

    Some of you may remember i wasnt happy with how the vr struggled out of corners on the track,so i had the box out and changed the final drive from the standard 3.30 too a 4.26 and what a differance,she is allot more responsive out of the corners and i can keep up with my mate in his 306 gti6 which i couldnt before,max speed is about 125 but it gets there allot quicker and the gears are allot more user freindly so im well pleased with it and would reccomend it!!!

    she handled really well in the bends she has gaz gold suspension which we lowered when i got it and i changed the rebound half way through gave her more rebound on the front and less on the rear as going into beckets she was lifting the rear but after sorting the rebound was allot better.ok she had a bit of understeer but you have got to expect that with the big vr6 lump at the front oh camber is around 3.8 on the front,main prob was accelaration out the corners took allot of winding up cheers

    yeah 10/40 do you change it regulary? if so try a switch might be a easy fix
  23. trackday
    dodgy oil pressure switch could be faulty but i would go level first,then switch then worst case sump,also have you changed the oil lately and is the right grade in there? if its too thin it will be sloshing round the sump too much
