rfcrangers Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 As sime said more than likely the breathers are choked with emulisified oil. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob84 Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 As sime said more than likely the breathers are choked with emulisified oil. regards if the oils emulsified, that means theres water getting in with the oil prob just full with 10yr old gunk, take the pipe off, blow and airline throught it and put it back in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cargy Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 I had an old 1.6 CVH mk3 years ago, and that always had "mayonnaise" at the top of the filler capand the breathers. Wasn't a leak, just condensation and lots of short journeys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
