There's an oil seperater that connects to the block, there's and o-ring and gasket that are both leaking.

For some unknown reason neither of those parts are in Aus, one is in Germany and one is in Singapore.

Germany takes 2 weeks for it to be sent.

Hence car cannot be driven for 2 weeks.

There was 1 litre of oil left in the car and was apparently pissing out since I got the car without my knowledge

Ugh... driving to work today, came off the freeway and the car starts stuttering on acceleration. Looks like I've got a boost leak somewhere or a misfiring coil. Yay.

Plus, it's like 1/1000 that have a leak. Just happened to be me this time. Which sucks but eh..

On the bright side 1000 customers either side of you will be raving about dat euro build quality :P

parents VW been in and out the shop for first 12 months chasing oil leak.

co workers tiguan dumped all it's oil last week.

hearing more and more of this on Euro cars recently.

still plan to get one next anyhow

What you looking at so far Martin?

Always wanted a C30 to mod. But it'd have to be a large project... LSD, cant fit medium intercooler, tricky ECU work ontop of a platform that the volvo enthusiasts are really raving about. oh well.

Lol everyone else is like oh it never happens its not a big deal. I'm thinking if it happened to them it'd be the biggest deal in the history of this company.

Yeah I can do his Tax

Let me know when he wants to do it

He'll need to talk to u coz he sub contracts as a poker dealer with an ABN etc. Pretty small annual income so shouldn't be hard but he needs to talk about what he can claim etc. I'll get him.to fb msg u if if that's cool? Or Or email

Hamish: haven't tried any others since mr burger. Paulie is a cousin or something lol..don't know him but I've probably met him, my extended family is massive. Any dessmann in Australia spelt that way is a relative

Didn't know he was the chef at parlour though, which is on the list of joints to hit

    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo :-D

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
