I think they are made from old recycled condoms - like 80%of the trim plastics :grin:

Have a look at my oil leak thread photos of it there.
It's easyish to get to from under the car. Also on that thread it links to many things you may find interesting to check on yours.

 :smiley: off to read your oil leak thread, I may be gone some time  :smiley:

After reading through the oil leak thread and looking through the various links, It sounds like the the dv or and the Pcv valve has failed, I will take it into the Indy garage that looks after my car tomorrow and get them to take a look, If they think this is the problem after logging boost levels etc, I will get them to replace both they can't be that expensive ?
Don't fancy doing the DV myself widow maker style in my garage  :rolleyes:
Will let you know how I get tomorrow if they can fit me in  :smiley:

If anybody experiencing power loss with access to a VCDS cable and software, we have a pretty good write-up of how to do this on your own as seen here: http://www.goapr.co.uk/support/datalogging.php

Glad to see everything worked out OP!  :smiley:
