Oil Leak!!!
« on: 07 October 2012, 16:13 »
Just spotted an oil leak, it looks like its coming from the underside of the black box on the (throttle body?)

Black box arrowed.


Arrow 1: Looks like where the leak is coming from
Arrow 2: Is getting wet because of it.



Just coming up to 45,000 miles on the clock and this looks like it could be the first fault.

Will be interesting to see what they say, I believe the seal is gone between the EGR and the throttle valve. 45,000 miles, is yours anywhere near that mileage wise? I believe its actually running down this bit.

The annoying thing with oil is it could be seeping from just about anywhere close to/above that area. Obviously eve makes sense being a diesel and all, but just have a really good check around and above just to rule anything else out as it could just be collecting there

The GTD is in for repair now just have to wait and see.  Got a 1.2TSI 105bhp Design New shaped Beetle with a 7 speed DSG which is ok. What I do like is the Fender sound system hooked up to the RCD510, fortunatly I pulled the flash drive from mine before it went in and and was cranking the stereo for the 45 min journey home.  It certainly gives the Dynaudio a run for its money. I have a feeling that the Fender is better....  So I hope the mk7 has fender as an option.  I found out when I got home there is a box in the boot that is Fender BassMax, it did sound good.  Will try and take pictures tomorrow and post them.  42 mpg so far and that included some Sport Mode foot to the floor off the line action.

Maybe get it back tomorrow, I think based on the photos they had already got a new EGR valve in.
