Many thanks- I've gone local as he had just recently done one(V6 Oil Cooler Seals) & the price was about the same, so easier for me than South London.

Hi there. Apologies for the delay as I just saw your message. It was in Ruislip NW London(I can dig out the number if you need it) & they had done one the week before & maybe 7 or 8 before that. Of course the bill increased from the quote as X broke doing it & I always regretted having it done- not because they did a poor job but my cheap "Bangernomics" car doubled in price overnight. Of course the seal can fail totally & your engine is lunched but personally I like the challenge of getting a couple of years out of a cheap car(just coming up to 280,000 miles now). There are some excellent YouTube videos on doing it yourself but of course they make it look easy & there are other jobs it is prudent to do when they do the work- far beyond my skill set. Good luck.

Thank you mate appreciate the reply. I’m sure your cars been good and 280k miles now, just barely run in

I have a specialist who will be checking the car next week. I have initially changed the turbo outlet an PCV breather seals as well as the green and black o rings. Im hoping its not the oil cooler seals but it seems like this is a very common issue on these motors so fingers crossed

Cheers
