Tried the bulb error cancellers

If you have the plastic ones bin them, the metallic ones are the version to go for 

Good: http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/100w-resistors-led-fix-for-55w-bulbs-such-as-h1h4h7-p-329.html

Very very bad: http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/hid-led-fixes-leads-sockets/hid-error-fixes/hid-kit-capacitor-obc-fix-p-319.html

Leak sounds like it's coming from your fuel filter - not the end of the world

Doc, do those 100W resistors work on your HIDS? I've got some 50w resistors and did nothing?
It seems very strange for a fuel leak, as it's oil that's dripping, oil that's all over the chassis, horn, windscreen washer bottle
Did you wire them across pos and neg, or just in-line on the positive?

Is it just me?

Or is this a bit wrong?

If you want a GTI or R then buy one. Why buy a diesel and then pretend?
I fully understand modding but not sure about this....

Leak diagnosis from your description - can you take a photo?

From what Ive read 50w ain't big enough and they should only be used for LED indicators, you need the 100w versions ie double what you think you need, strange but true  

They need to be wired pos to neg - they get fecking hot too! - 200 plus oC on the 50w versions! I screwed mine to the bumper bar, note mine are to kid the car that main beam is still there, the xenon's don't have any on them, I'm 75% sure that you wont need them if you use VCDS to program your car for xenons like I have done  

[DRC]

Wondered how long this would take...
In what way am I pretending? Do you see me wanting to stick 'R' badges on the front and back? No.
So because I like the style of the 'R' and GTI bumpers, I'm automatically pretending?
Yes, at 20 years old, I could of gone out, got myself into £35k's worth of debt, got a car that I couldn't insure, cost a bomb to run and then what? I'm doing this because I want a project, I want something to make myself and call it unique, and be proud of my achievements.

Hi

The oil could be a symptom of someone not putting the dip stick back in properly and it spraying around?

Have you tried cleaning it off and seeing if fresh oil appears? .

Could just be some old issue that was sorted but lazy sods didn't clean up after themselves?

[DRC]

Yeah, can see my car like that, thought they all looked brill!.....anyway
Doc, the can with the 4 tubes coming from the top is what's leaking, and then second picture you can see oil on the screw head..
