Hello everyone, this is my first post on this site, I have been a member for a while and found it very interesting and informative!!

I have owned a gti6 for bout 6 months now and have loved every min of it. I bought it from my friend who had got it from his dad who had it from new! so i knew it had been well looked after.
It has been lightly modified: eagle f1's and proxes t1-rs, koni and eibachs 30mm and a pipercross viper induction kit.

but i have a problem.....

The last week or so i have developed an oil leak, found a few small patches on driveway so had a look under the bonnet and there seems to be a leak somewhere near the front of the engine bay
on the passenger side and is forming a little pool on the lip on top of my induction kit and dripping down! I have also noticed the oil level is suddenly quite low.

also the car seems to be more 'shuddery' in first gear and when turning the engine off you can hear a sort of clattering noise coming to a halt!! I dont know much about engines so dont know if these two things are related

p.s. used the search but didnt find anythin that sounds the same


Any advice or info would be much appreciated!


Cheers
Dave

Might not be them though Dave.
You have to buy the covers as the gasket is part of them iirc. You should always ask for a discount if you buy it from Puegeot...

Well i took it to the garage on friday and turns out all it was was a pipe going to the power steering pump had come loose and was leaking, and the clattering noise wen turning off the engine was just a clamp had come off the middle section of exhaust allowing it to rattle!!
all sorted for a mere

hello and welcome.
