Recommended Posts

is it common for vr's to leak from where the filter housing meets the engine?

my rado keeps leaving its mark everywhere and as far as i can tell its that gasket . .

I believe mine is doing the same thing actually fella.

 

My local mechanic said that the this is a common problem with VRs, the forum might be able to offer some insight into this aswell!

When's she due for her next oil change?

 

*i'm trying to get the diagram off vagcat to check out the arrangement of parts, but it doesn't seem to be working*

its ok i had already ordered the gasket and 2 bolts needed to do it just to be on the safe side!!

the gasket is about £6 and £2 each for new bolts from a vw dealership ( i dont like re using the old bolts!!)

i had just recently changed the oil so im gonna try and save as much of it as i can when doing the repair!!
