Two things Oil dipstick and EGR Vale.

New dip stick fitted  wonder how long it well last with me around lol
Quick question, dose the dip stick lock in to something? as my last one was just lose, as in went over the hole but didn’t lock in the place so when i take the cover off the dip stick and the tube come off with it ? Or do u just push the dip stick in as you take the cover off.

Plan for Saturday, recover from hangover. Fit new window regulator and clean that EGR Vale. Hope weather keeps good

ok so far the weekend hasn’t gone to plan, Saturday rained so couldn’t do anything, but i did recover. I ve cleaned the car today just waiting for my mate to come with his little tool box and going to get the window sorted.
Was under the engine bay and nosiest this on the ERG vale, looks like a hole? Is it spostre be there?



And to take the ERG vale off, do i just take the pipe off on the left; undo the three bolts on the right, pop of the pipe on the top. But the pipe leading to the back do you just pull it off? [PIC]



Also cleaned up the oil round my oil filter other day looking at it today noticed there were oil all over it again. any idea were its leaking from ?




Thanks

Hi
Thanks for the photos.
Clean the area around the oil filter. Start the car, and look up at the oil filter seal area for the leaking oil.

Thanks ill have to look tomorrow in the light. Can you get new seals from GSF or is it a Dealer jobie? As I am going Tuesday for some parts

Hi
The oil filter seal comes with the oil filter.
Generally for seals it is best to go to VW.
