Leaky MK2 16V
« on: 02 June 2004, 11:39 »
I have a serious problem with my 16v leaking oil! I am stripping the top end and replacing gaskets etc. However, I have oil leaking into my distributor cap! What the bl***y h**l is going on?
Any helpfull suggestions or possible causes / solution please! Also, any general tips whilst I am doing this work would be much appreciated!

Mk2 Gti 16v (1989)

Thanks

its the inner oil seal in the dizzy itself

you cant get these from VW but if you go to a bosch specialist and ask them for a 12.5mm seal, you can getaway with using a 12mm seal if the pinion is pretty worn
