g60_Pete 0 Posted April 8, 2005 is leaking! first of many problems im sure ;) i got it tightened up but i havent run it yet to see if its sroted it out, i heard its a cheap fix if the whole thing needs doing (less than £20?) other things i noticed, my breather filter looks like its on its last legs (im guessing that can be done for about £7) AAAND best of all somewhere above the sump right up against the engine block there's 3 small holes, no sign of wear of any kind of fluid escaping, but it does look like it should have a double rubber plug on top of it.. not a clue what that is but doesnt seem to be detremental... any comments on prices or whatever reply away :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted April 8, 2005 umm... which engine? Oil pressure switches are dirt cheap from VAG (less then £15 IIRC) and I think that you can get 'em from GSF and ECP for less too! 8) Which breather filter? I can't think of a Corrado that had a breather filter on it as standard... ?| Any chance of a pic of the holes? could be just casting marks on the block?

g60_Pete 0 Posted April 9, 2005 urm its a g60 henny, oil pressure seems to have stopped leaking, but i think its still flashing so the whole thing might be needing a replacement. i was *told it was a breather filter, it sits atop the rocker cover on the right, its a black square cap with 2 screws on it with a black pipe leading to a inch thick pipe, slight oil leakage at the small to large pipe joining (maybe a jubilee clip to fix?) as for moulding marks i thought it might but there appears to be a bit of toothed gear visible, although im not exactly a mechanic or anything so wth do i know? heres' the pics with commentary ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted April 9, 2005 you have a green inspection plug missing from your gearbox m8,what you can see is the flywheel. an easy fix,just not sure where you would get one? neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted April 9, 2005 oh the slight leak is just from the breather pipe,noticed mine was split the other day,maybe worth checking yours. they shouldnt need a jubilee,but wouldnt harm to put one on and keep the bay a little more oil free :D neil.

Henny 0 Posted April 11, 2005 you can still get that pipe from VAG (just got one for J-dub). The gearbox inspection bung is also available cheaply from VAG... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
