Gambit Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 The filter what oil was it covered in Jay is asking. Engine oil on the filter is not a good thing :(
Jay762 Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 but some filters eg K&N do recommend a very light oil to capture fine particles
Nick Posted September 22, 2013 Author Posted September 22, 2013 Oh right. Sorry Medication I'm on makes me a bit slow. That's my excuses and I am sticking with it. Lol Ye looks like engine oil. Poss coming up through a breather pipe. But not sure why 1
Jay762 Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 sounds like it would be a breather pipe - you can get a little coming up just through normal usage but it shouldn't be excessive
Nick Posted September 22, 2013 Author Posted September 22, 2013 It was bad but it was only in the middle of filter size of my pam but thick enough
Jay762 Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 replace the filter then monitor - unless you know it has only recently appeared, if that is the case fit a catch tank and see how much is being blown out of the breather, I have had oil come out during spirited driving around corners where the oil slops about more and gets taken up the pipe by the air flow, it might be that a baffle will help keep the oil where it should be.
Nick Posted September 22, 2013 Author Posted September 22, 2013 Have put the cone on to inlet and left the rest of the pipes to see what comes out
Jay762 Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 doh of course you did - I did read your initial post honest just had brain fade in between :P
Nick Posted September 22, 2013 Author Posted September 22, 2013 Had a good look over the car today and it looks like I need a lot of parts. Engine seems good with all belts replaced
Gambit Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 I always find there is something I need most of the time it's just because I want to upgrade it :)
Nick Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 everthing ive checked needs replaced, and the surface rush on everthing, I am going to be busy
Nick Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 today I am going to check the airbag sensors one by one
Gambit Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Best way from what I read most of the time it's just a connector that is lose or damaged.
Nick Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 I have a data cable to usb for the computer. Is there a program I can download
Gambit Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Don't think there is any free ones to use but I'be never looked. I will have a look around later for you mate if I get chance :)
Nick Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 just fixed the airbag light. had to reloom the wires to the passenger seat. it looked like rats had been eating the loom it was bad. see when I use this Bluetooth scanner to my phone, do I have to connect the connectors that test the car also?
Gambit Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Shouldn't need to with it being a OBDII but then again you might have to I really am not 100% I would try it :D Was it the torque pro free trial one you used I've heard people not being able to get that to work but then bought it and worked fine. But might not work still was just checking. And found this not sure how good or crap it is but it's free :D http://www.easyobdii.com/free-download/ And had a feeling be something like that but least it's another thing to be ticked off :D
Nick Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 just down loading it now. Don't really it right now after fixing the fault but just want to see what else is going on with it
Gambit Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Yeah I'm the same mate and handy if you can clear any codes too see if they come back :)
Nick Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 it downloaded ok but interface communication failur check connections and power when plugged in
Gambit Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 So it's not seeing the usb device I'm guessing :(
Nick Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 nor did it work on my merc. will try and find my other vw cable
Gambit Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 If it's like my putting away I have to empty the cupboards and turn the house upside down to find anything :)
Nick Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 I know. need to find my old vw software I had years ago because the new software wants me to pay for upgrade
