mrblonde 0 Posted November 6, 2007 hi ya,ggrr creamy muck muck in the oil filler body and cap!.could this just be crap breathers?.blocked etc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrblonde 0 Posted November 6, 2007 how do you mean moisture mate?.its not head gasket i dont think because the temp is fine and im not losing water and the colour of the water is normal.i think ill be getting some silicone ones soon!. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mickie 3 Posted November 6, 2007 i think its just bad design or something, moisture in the air gets to the filler through the afm, tb, ect.. i wouldnt worry too much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GLPoomobile 958 Posted November 6, 2007 It is normal if you are doing short journeys, especially in winter. But I can't help but wonder if this related to your other thread about oil spraying out near the dizzy. Sounds like you could be getting pressure buiding up and it's chucking oil out of the dipstick tube! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damien 22 1 Cars Posted November 7, 2007 or you could beleave the old wifes tail that your head gasket is on its way out. most likey moisture from short trips Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djinuk 2 Posted November 7, 2007 Dont worry, i made a phone call to a friday on Sunday as i believe my head gasket had gone for the same reason but he said they are known for it lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gibbo GTI 0 Posted November 7, 2007 I'm sure someone may correct me but from my experiance its a french design problem. I've owned various makes and ages of cars and the only ones that mayo up the oil filler are french in origin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All Praise The GTI 3 Posted November 7, 2007 hi mate, if you didnt run the car for a while and have just started using it again its probably just moisture in there. will soon clear up. as others have said short journeys do it aswell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

richsmells 2 Posted November 7, 2007 Haha. Yeah they all get it. I removed the gauze in the filler cap so that doesn't clog up. You can remove the breather hoses and give them a good clean or just take it for a damn good thrash and that often helps clear some of the mayo up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
