Oil over back of drivers side light cover - SEAT Cupra.net

mavbritton · 09-04-2007, 20:02

I've got oil over the back of the Drivers side light cover/s. Seat dealership reckon its nothing to worry about. I reckon its them being lazy when they service the car. Should I worry, and whats the safest way of cleaning it off.

I had a post last week about the drivers side sidelights not working, turns out it was the main switch. I checked the sidelight bulb, which was fine, but had to take the bumper off to remove the light cluster to get the cover back on because of all this bloody oil! Not that hard to do, but a bit of a bitch if you are fussy about getting the light sat back in place square with the bumper and wing!

What engine have you got?

*rashcupra* · 10-04-2007, 12:44

oil isnt gonna get on the front of the light unless it was touched with oily hands or was spilt on it take it back to wherever you took it and get them to clean it up

Unless you have a split boost hose? maybe slight misting of oil coming from that whilst under load?

That's what I was thinking - that's why I asked what engine he had

EDIT : Just checked his profile - TDI Sport - could possibly be a boost hose...

*rashcupra* · 10-04-2007, 13:09

Just go for black mate, then sell them once they can get some red ones

*rashcupra* · 10-04-2007, 13:17

thats what i said to them and they have got alot of the non visable pipes in black but they have got heat rap round them anyway so not bothered. told them also to get the other in black for now and replace them with red 1's when i go back up there for the lsd and gear-box ect

! but they said theyve got hold of a red pipe and the delivery has just taken the piss! they cant map it road test ect till they get it either, and its only a 90' bend simple pipe

10-04-2007, 13:57

*rashcupra* · 10-04-2007, 14:02
