Acting odd after oil change
« on: 13 February 2007, 15:01 »
Just did a oil and filter change on my 88' 8v. before I did it it it was idling fine.
now it will cut out after about 15 seconds unless I rev it. The oil level is fine and I used Castrol magnatec 10w40
Any ideas appreciated.

That sounds odd mate, but I doubt the oil change did that! check the MK2 maintenance section for idle issues.

Check that your oil breather tube from the breather filter to the intake manifold is fitted correctly or that it is not damaged. Or, a silly thing, but check your filler cap is on properly!
