UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Sorry to jump on your thread but I'm also having a similar problrm. I've been loosing alot of oil, I'm suspecting it is the oil breather that is leaking. No visible leaks on the floor but using alot of oil, I recently cleaned the crankcase breather out aswell I used brake cleaner and petrol! I have...

Hi, I have recently brought a polo 6n2 GTI that I am restoring front to back, and I have the same problem. the engine is fine, passes all tests (compression/leak), however after removing the crankcase breather that was blocked and cleaning it out. then replacing the hose breather hose that goes fro...

Went to my local scrapyard today to get some bolts the right size, got rid of the spacers and it doesnt scrape anymore! was just to close to the wheel arch in the end though it didnt look it.

Anyone?

Hey guys, as soon as i fix one problem i get another Changed my wheels the other day from 195/45/15 to a different set which are 195/50/15 and im now hearing scraping sounds on the drivers side wheel. Both of the front wheels have spacers on them though as the previous wheels were slightly wider tha...

Ive used it many times without issue. Your problem cant get worse lol! Yeah currently restoring it. Hopefully on the road in a couple of months. Had one before and they are a dream to own. Rust is the biggest issue. Engine wise its solid as a rock. Yeah i suppose! lol! and ahh man you're making me ...

Wynns Engine Flush http://www.halfords.com/motoring/engine-oils-fluids/fuel-oil-additives/wynns-engine-flush-petrol-and-diesel-425ml Can help loosen up sludge etc Could that not block stuff elsewhere? sorry for the 100 questions haha, also on a side note, i see you drive a mk2 golf gti? how are the...

I would think a max of 500 miles to burn it all off If its coated the cat converter itll take a while to clear Monitor it for now and see if it settles down Maybe run a can of engine flush through the system and do another oil/filter change to loosen any old crap up thats sitting in the block Thank...

I would top it up and drive it a bit more and see how quick it drops again What oil are you using? So just keep an eye on it? its not too bad once warmed up atm but still puffs a load out if i rev while idle, and if it was the pcv valve, how long would it take for it to all revery back to normal? i...

so the dotted line on my dipstick are about an inch long, 2 days ago they were just about the top end of the dots, now they are just below the middle of the dots, have drove it around but not a ridiculous amount.

Depends how much oil vapour its pumping back into the throttle body

Are you still losing oil?

Im now about to go check! good timing il let you know.

Youd have to take the sump off to check. Its a liquid gasket and a fair pain in the ass to do so wouldnt recommend it unless you have to £320 is good for a 51k block. Would probably take the year warranty too. Ahh so there would be no other way to check? i mean the pcv/oil separator was absolutely ...

Theres not that many places that could block really. As long as the PCV is clean which youve done, unless you are getting excessive oil pressure due to a blocked strainer in the sump for example theres little else that can sludge up Depends if you can get a lower mileage one in good condition. Engi...

The way to look at it is oil is getting into the combustion chambers/exhaust somehow. Theres not that many ways that can happen. Compression tests arent always a true representation of an issue. ahh fook, is there anything else that could be blocked tho? like the oil separator was? In your opinion,...
