Will have a look when I get the chance, but its not that easy with the plastic cover over the engine. Standard VW I'm guessing, whatever make they tend to use.  Nothing special I'm betting.

If there's a "Blues Brothers" club, does that mean we are the "Silver Surfers"?

Can I join the "Silver Surfers" too??

Current GTI = reflex silver met
Current RS4 = light silver met
Previous S4 = light silver met
Previous Vectra GSi = star silver met (whoops, shouldn't have admitted that one  )

Before you pull off your engine cover, log on to Cromwell.co.uk, and order a small tube of Rocol AquaSil silicone grease paste.

When you eventually do pull off your engine cover, you'll probably find you leave half the rubber bungs behind on the engine.  Carefully prise them off the engine posts, re-attach them to the engine cover, and then smear the silcone grease on the rubbers and mounting posts.

You can also use the silicone grease on all electrical connectors, as it doesn't rot the rubber like WD40 does.

Thanks for that Sean.

Your welcome.

Forgot to mention that you can (and should) also use silcone grease on all metal/rubber sliding parts on brake calipers, as copper grease will also rot rubber.
