Is the engine using any water or oil ?, quite normal to see a lot of condensation from the exhaust this time of year.

Ez Steve.
Its not doing a lot of water at all and the temp stays nice an low just how it should be.
As far as th eoil goes i had to top it up a bit after about 500 miles an its been kool since.
I was told tho that i should use an oil like 20/50 as its thiker.
AM gonna have a go an see wot happens.
Cheers.

When you leave people at the lights and check your mirror do you see them emerge from a smokey cloud

that looks sooooo cool

Probably you're valve stem oil seals (very common, mine are f^CKed on cylinder 3

) - they're reasonably cheap and easy to fit but it is a head off job so i haven't bothered - when it blows i'll be changing for a 16v but the biach wont go no matter how much i thrash it

How's the oil consuption? i'm doing about 100miles/litre at the moment

so why do i still use magnatec?
