At Angus Mitchell Automotive we only use the very best oils. Sure, these oils cost more than cheap oils just as the best food costs more than junk.
Some issues we have found whilst servicing these cars include
- Engine carbon build up due to exhaust gas recirculation
- Smell from build up of bacteria in air conditioning evaporater
- Oil filter housing leaking oil and coolant
- VW offered a smaller 1.4 turbo or twin charged engine to cut fuel economy and emissions. These engine were boosted to over 1.5 bar which caused early engines to crack pistons
- Timing chain and tensioner noise on start up, which can result in engine damage beyond repair
- Camshaft adjuster failing. Also causes rattle on start up
- Supercharger clutches failing. This runs off the water pump
- Coolant leaks from the re-circulating water pump
- Engine blowing black smoke on acceleration
- Rear tailshaft (kardan shaft) broken mount causing vibration during acceleration
- Engine burning excessive oil due to lack of servicing
- Water pump leaking at 80,000kms. It is essential this is replaced with the timing belt
- Engine oil consumption due to long service intervals, the oil level needs to be checked monthly at a minimum and changed regularly
- Central locking actuators failing
