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

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

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
