My Mk2 gets the same thing in its crankcase breather pipe. Its perfectly normal, and will probably burn off during a good motorway run.

Its usually caused by lots of short journeys, not getting the engine up to temp, just blow the crap out of the hoses and let the car warm up :smiley:

i get the same on my 8v mk2. ive had it a couple of times i know the symptons now though. my car starts juddering and jolting....take that breather pipe off and the flying saucer give it a good clean with carb cleaner and its as good as new! :grin:
