Mines booked in for the 26th. "Thank you for the extensive information "

Lets hope it is just that pipe leaking, should be a simple fix

According to one very similar to ours on another forum it seems to be the join of the small pipe from the crankcase breather and main large feed pipe.

Well car went in today, got a call they found the leak as we all know, but it is an over pressure causing the leak so they need to find the problem.They had all the technicions on and couldnt work it out, they have kept hold of the car and sent all the info off to VW technical. So we shall see, Boston VW have been very good though not charging me for any investigation. I did mention a leak was pocked up on MOT when it was in warranty and Maidenhead VW said was nothing to worry about it, so Boston are going to look into it. Fingers crossed may get some goodwill

Pressure issue is a bit vague. But imo if it has then its prob the fine oil seperator/PCv system failure an easy fix.
Did you try the oil cap removal test to see if the pcv system is working?

But if it past that test i think its just a poor join of plastic against plastic join but in your case I don't have the full info but just an educated guess from the many many  solved cases of similar issues I've found so far for the real cause of mine. But after reasearch I know how it works now.
I'm dreading mine going in next week.

I never did the oil cap off test, i would hope vw would know what the prob was. I might go amd see them in the morning and show then this thread

Well just had a call from VW Boston the leak is fixed, turned out to be the seal on the pipe that goes into the main air intake and another part from the fine oil seperator, £227 altogether. They didnt charge me for any of the diagnostics or fault finding, so it could have been a damn sight more.

Now the task of speaking to VW UK to find out if i can get any sort of goodwill seeing as Maidenhead VW identified something in June, when it was still under warrantly and said "it was normal to have some oil seapage around the air intake pipe" seems like that was an easy cop out by them.

But im glad since i moved i have found a very good VW dealer, which is a pleasant surprise.

When i get the paperwork later i will have a look to see if there are any part numbers on it, and hope the leak doesnt reappear in a few days, fingers crossed.

Did they log it down as a reported issue or just word of mouth. If its on the system as an investigation its still an open unsolved case you will have a case against that. If it was simply a discussion with them maybe a good will guesture from VW.

[EyeballPaul]

It was just a phone call with VW Maidenhead, but they did put "oil leak" on the MOT advisory section, so it is in writting.

I will give VW UK a call when i get all the paperwork together, worth a try. Atleast it didnt cost me that much in the end.

Snoopy you said yours is in Friday, will be interesting to see what they come up with on your car. I will post all the info on here that I get on my paperwork when I pick the car up later.

Thanks. Any additional info you may have  I could give them, part number etc would be great.
