Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • 1990 T3 oil leaking from a seam in muffler

    I've been given an old T3 and am wondering whether to try n get her back on the road. She's leaking a heap of oil from what seems like a seam at the end of the muffler. The end closest to the resonator ( I think that's what it's called lol)
    Does this mean a blown head ??

        I would imagine that oil leaking from around that point would be a result of blow by from the cylinders , when an engine shows wear oil will get into the combustion chamber past the rings and then get blown out into the exhaust .
