Hi,
VW Golf Mk4 2.0 ltr with 220000 klms on the clock.
I have cleaned the oil filler cap many times removing sludge from it. After I clean it and replace go for a short drive I have water droplets on it.
Yesterday I took the rubber hose which comes out of the filler cap hole to the intake pipe off and it was full of this brown sludge.
Cleaned all that out and the wife says the car feels much smoother to drive, she does a 25klm drive to work, lets the car sit all day then 25klm drive home, all highway driving. Still very cold here weather wise.
I am assuming that this is a condensation build up as there is no indication of water in the oil. There does not seem to be any coolant lose. This is not worrying me to much as doing some research, this seems to be the norm to a degree.
Out of curiosity I took the oil filler cap off when the engine was running and there seems to be a fair amount of blow-by coming out. Rev the engine and it is not as bad. I am comparing this with my V6 Holden Commodore, none comes out of that.
I know the engine has a few klms on it and I do not know any past history of the car.
Any thoughts please.
Thank you.
