Ok, fair enough.

A 10-50 will be a better oil for an S2 IMO.

silkolene pro s - brilliant oil, speak to oilman on the forum for some.

@newsh, Ive done a boost leak test with Andys kit and couldnt find anything but ill be checking everything when the rocker cover and inlet manifold come off for a clean and paint. the black crud on the IM is really hard and needs scrapping off. I know that there is a mist of oil lower down the engine part from rocker cover and i think part from either a breather pipe or an oil switch. Of course I also have the usual PAS leaks EVERYWERE!

@acidburn, its not long turned 164k

Looking over some of the service history and ive seen that the previous owner has changed the oil every 3k over the last nearly 20k in 4 years and has always used 0w40 mobil 1. Is this still a good oil to use or am i worth changing to a more advanced oil like a 10w50?

[newsh]

Looks like you've got a lot of oil mist round the inlet manifold / throttle body area, could be a boost leak.

[Acidburn]

looking good, car looks mint, whats the milage on it?

Over the last week ive done a couple of little jobs on the audi, some were necessary and some were done because I might aswel while I was there.

Firstly last weekend the Aux radiator finally split luckily not to far from home, managed to get back and let it cool down. I had left the rad bungs I bought from Rusty in work so I needed a temporary fix quick. Big thanks to quattro for lending me his spare rad for the weekend!

Few pictures of the car in work...


The old radiator needed binning!


While I had the front end stripped I thought I'd fit the PAS pulley cap and new bolts I picked up from acidburn.


Fitted a new set of plugs while I was there.



Car all back together and topped up with new G12 antifreeze, then bled through on the ramp.


Over the last few weeks I had also fitted a few bits to the interior, Rusty's Gearknob and Boost Gauge with a homemade Gauge Pod and a set of Carbon trims from Aronmatic!


Ill try and get a few more pics of the interior on the weekend when I can actualy see the car in day light.

Next on the list is Oil + Filter change and rocker cover gasket.!

Cheers

Tim.
