TB_205GTI 1 Posted January 17, 2006 Just took the throttle body of my GTI last night trying to fik the rather poor idle, and I notuced the inlet had quite a bit of oil in it. (throttle body and the manifold). But why do I get that? I'm using a catchtank, and after 2.000Km there is virtually nothing in it, but why do I then get oil in the inlet?

nick-rallye 0 Posted January 18, 2006 not sure why it does give so much oil but on both engines i have there has been abit of oil in the inlet manifold. i think because that pipe sits above the cam nearly so maybe gets "fired" up there alot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I vaguely remember you passing me. It was very hard to tune to DR-P3.. Thought you old people listen to DR-P1.. I submit very quick motor Peter.
