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

@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?

Ok, fair enough.
A 10-50 will be a better oil for an S2 IMO.

i dont know I have been considering them but im still not sure, would mind seeing what a set of bbs lm's would look like but I dont know. Would also like a set of either cup 1's or reps.

I couldnt honestly tell you, whats the matter with the LHD type?

My RHD avant dash does not line up with the door trim on the passenger side so I suspect its not a LHD vs RHD thing.

Dash has probably droppped. If you loosen the two little bolts behind the covers in the door jamb you should be able to push the dash up and retighten the bolts with it in the right positionPanthero Coupé quattro 20vt

Just a quick update,
Fitted a new 710n recirc valve as old one failed earlier in the week.
Anyone know of a good paint silver paint that looks factory so that I can paint the IM and rocker cover, does it need to be high temp paint?
