This vid was hugely useful, glad I saw it before I trekked down to Glasgow to pick up my Mk5 GTI. Gave me something else to look for! thankfully no signs of weeping on my box.

Great video as always matey, I had an MOT advisory of a slight oil leak on the LCR but not sure where as no details were given. I'll check that area on mine to see if it has the same issue!

Yeah its an option now that I never considered before. The cam shaft cover gaskets are also known for sometimes leaking oil if they're a few years old, so maybe check around the top of that too. Hopefully you track it down🤞🏻, and cheers for tuning in as well 😊

Great video - I'm having a similar leak from the grear box but have not narrowed down the source. Did your fix work?

Yeah it's all sorted now 👍🏻The new cap has completed sealed up the leak. The old one was letting oil through like a sieve!🙈😅 Bit of brake cleaner and a rag will help clean ur gearbox up, then hopefully as it leaks you can spot the source easier. Let me know how u get on 👍🏻 and cheers for commenting

@@NorthCoastWorkshop Very good actually. Replaced PCV valve, timing chain + belt as well as chain on camshaft with tensioner. Decarbonization of intake valves. Balance shaft disconnect. New water pump. And cleaning of oil pan. New cam follower. All this was done at 94k miles and car is driving really good. Cupra is basically in stock state. The only think that is not stock is catback part of exhaust. Got Milltek with 2 exhaust ports near the middle which gave the car a more aggressive look. I am currently thinking of getting Polarfis PF04+ Advanced to get more info from Maxidot display. Like oil temperature, boost pressure etc...

You're smashing it with the mods and maintenance mate!👌🏻 Great to see someone taking such good care of their car, especially with these R's becoming so rare. Cam shaft chain and tensioner, as well as balance shaft delete, are at the top of my priority list for my car later this year. I can't go for more power before ensuring those things are spot on first. I may attempt the balance shaft delete myself, but probably a specialist for the cam chain just in case 😬
