RIGHT, went to VW last Thursday to pick up my new gallery plugs...... they were the wrong ones  :angry: :angry: :angry:
Re-ordered and went to pick them up Friday  :smiley:
I made myself a little fixture at work to get the new plug in so I set about it Friday night. :cool:
Managed to get the new plug in nice and square and flush but it still seeped oil  :cry: :cry:
Thought to myself 'Feck it' and proceeded to fill the hole where the new plug sits with liquid metal  :shocked:
I now have no oil leaks  :grin: :laugh: :grin: :wink:
HOWEVER, I think I over filled the engine with oil  :rolleyes:
Took it for a test drive, let her warm up then opend her up  :grin:
got to about 6k revs in 3rd and POOOOOFFFFFF.... a MASSIVE cloud of bluey/grey smoke bellowed out of my exhaust  :shocked: :shocked:
I pulled over sharpish and turned the engine off, had a little snoop about under the hood and aprehensivly turned her over and she started but if I gave her a bit of throttle, more smoke  :cry:
I limped home and gave her a proper check over, turns out one of my HT leads had popped off, phew!!!!
It was burning oil a little too but that is now sorted aswell  :cool:
SO, aside from the HUGE screw I've just found in my brand new tyre  :angry: All is well in camp 'VR6 Ben Big Bore'  :evil:
