rf's FR TDi - NOW SOLD - Another Car Change 2013!

[vroomtshh]

Got new tyres fitted today, advised that NSF alloy wheel has major buckle. Tbh, i don't understand how it can be 'major' as there is no knock on effect of the buckled wheel. It's been put on the back just now until i decide wether i'm going to fix it or not. Pissed off at this as i have been avoiding all bad patches of road and potholes strictly as i'm concerned that it's going to end up damaging the suspension as well.

Cleaning the car today and noticed this thing on outside of the car underneath. Looks like some kind of radiator?

Also can across a problem that will need to be looked at. Does anybody know where the oil is spilling from?

The oil may be coming from the oil filter seal.

firstly the under the driverside bud it a diesel heater
Secondly what sides that pipe exactly? At a guess a would say its driverside front that case the pipe is the pipe coming from your intercooler.. the vw clip joints tend to sweat oil mines is the same bud

Hmm, will get it booked in for them to have a look at it. Looks like quite a lot of oil does'nt it?

No, it looks like a tiny amount of oil
Is the car using any?

Tbh, i checked the oil about a fortnight ago and there was plenty left. Was pretty black though. I'm probably sweating over nothing, that's what happens when you own a vauxhall for a year ha ha!

The oil ina diesel is always black. Even one mile after it's changed

referring to diagram above mate check the vw clips in your case check in detail clips 20 and 21 bud. A know this cause a recently had to replace them myself(clips 24) cause of the oil sweat. Hope this helps.

Ah ok. It was last serviced at the garage i bought it from, i wonder if they put in the correct spec oil- probably not!

How do you find the T1R's mate? I had them on my old car, very good in the dry, but werent the best in the wet! I've just ordered 2 RainSport 2's for the back of mine...

So far they are fine, much much quieter than the pirellis that were on before so that's a bonus! I could'nt get the rainsports for a decent price and when i did, they were telling me that i'd be looking at a couple of weeks before i got them for some reason

Thats good then, I'm hoping these will be quieter than the Yokos on just now. How much did you see them for? I got mine for £162 for the set
