Hi All,

Got a GU with TD42 and aftermarket turbo. Changed the oil and oil filters recently and may have put an extra 500ml in on top of the 10.5litres recommended in the owners manual (got distracted during the process). :oops: Is the extra 500ml a problem?

Cheers

It can be if wagon has higher k's (over 200)......., it can pressurise the crank case and at high Revs the 1st place it comes out (if not really well vented) is the vacuum pump on the back of alternator...that seal seems the weakest and blows....have GQ company wagons and its happened twice,

good luck
