Well i finally got motivated and found my leak, i'll do a walkthough for those of you with the same problem - its caused by some an old rubber seal that seals no more

step 1 - remove your wipers, 1 x 14mm bolt on each wiper arm then wiggle (probably with the bonnet down and wipers up so the spring doesn't push anything

step 2 - flick out the 3 plastic plugs recessed into the plastic panel under the wipers

step 3 - pull the rubber seal off that runs across the back of the engine bay, tool of choice would be the needle nosed pliers with a bend in them as the rubber is held in with clips that can be pried off but can also be squeezed from underneath (that way they don't break)

step 4 - pull the plastic panel out to reveal your wiper mechanism and the base of the windscreen, you can now access the offending part

Here it is: post-51118-0-57492400-1300511074_thumb.jpg

pull it out and it doesn't look so good underneath post-51118-0-74513300-1300511030_thumb.jpg

the rubber has perished pinch.gif

clean everything up and apply some gasket goo

reinstall and reassemble and hope its all good cheers.gif

I de-greased and wd40'd my wiper linkages, now my aircon smells like wd40 -> a word of warning if you are thinking about going nuts with the wd40

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
