Off to Durham next week, first proper trip for a couple of years! Visiting family, Edinburgh, Durham City and Beamish! All electrics are working well! 🤞
😅
Durham trip went well, revisiting some places as my wife comes from there. Van mpg avg 35 mpg so much motorway unfortunately!
2 miles from home on M27 oil light came on! Slowed down it went out.
Next day went to check to find engine oil all over driveway 😱
£975 later known fault by VW is they've used as plastic cover between the oil casing and oil cooler! Do they acknowledge this? Only enough to want to charge £1500+ to sort,😡
Local garage £925.00 guess who got the deal 😂 they told me that VW aware and always have 4 kits in store!!!! Thanks VW really good of you 😡
Down side is underside of van a mess, garage cleaned off belly pan but advised it be steam cleaned. Can't find anywhere that is willing to do!
When hosepipe ban over will have to remove the belly pan and power wash it with Gunk or such!
Once upon a time a covering of oil under a vehicle was classed as rust protection!
So once I've sorted the belly pan I'll have a look see what it's like! And decide what to do!
