Hi Mike,

I see that you have two 1.8T cars. Unfortunately with the KV6 the ‘O’ rings can last for anything from, say, 12 years to a matter of weeks. I have experienced years of leak-free motoring, then it suddenly happens and, as I’ve said, many owners don’t seem to have any trouble at all. This is why I find it such an interesting problem to investigate further.

Hi Simon, that is interesting, and also something that must have an answer or an evident cause....and a cure...though there are always 'mysteries' with cars of all types and their individual problems.

I've sent you a PM in order to maybe explore this further, and also as I see you have an SD1. Probably the best looking car of all time, especially in Broadspeed form! ( ...and in my humble opinion, of course ).
