The oil filler is part of the LH bank camshaft cover. It's not a container so is quite normal for it to look relatively dry. Use the dispstick to check the oil level, on a warm engine which isn't running and after letting it stand for five minutes.
|
Using the dipstick, the oil is withing normal levels but smells burnt.
Thank you vitesse
From what I see in the thread, I would need a 70mm at about 50cm length.

The engine should normally operate at around 90C. You can't tell anything from the temperature gauge ('normal' can be anywhere betweeen 75C and 115C), so pretty useless. The only way to know is by using the Trip Screen Diagnostics.
|
Indeed, when steam was getting out from the expansion tank, the temperature gauge was telling 90C. Will have to use some Diagnostics.

While opening the oil cap, upon a closer inspection I found something that I'm not entirely sure it's supposed to be there or not.

Cam cover breather mesh?[/QUOTE]
So should I pull that out or is it normal for that to be in there? Also, should I add something (aditives) to clean the deposits inside the camshaft?

Was thinking the same thing, all resized now.

In theory the clutch reservoir doesn't need filling, supposed to be a sealed system. Its a pain to get at in a right hand drive car, don't know how accessible it is in a left hander.

I guess we'll find out

In addition to what T-Cut said about the header tank cap seals, if you are replacing them replace them with VITON seals. More durable than rubber.
|
I don't see
anything here regarding the Viton seals, or any of the caps saying they have viton seals. I found these
coolant cap O rings, 2 pounds + 4.49 for international shipping. Are these the right ones?

Where is this container and what sort of oil are you putting in it.?

Exactly what I wanted to ask you guys. Would you recommend normal, semi-syntetic, full sintetic oil? And which type/brand?
* Another thing I noticed when pulling the door covers to fix the electric windows, the inside of the door had water and was filled with rust debris. What should I use inside the door to prevent rust from forming and where exactly are the water leak holes to clean them so water gets out from the door?
I will have to check the plenum this weekend to see if it's clear or clogged. Maybe even do the peek-hole hack.
