Dropped my phone in the engine bay whilst using it as a torch to read the part number for the abs pump. Took about 20 minutes to get the phone out.

Well not quite what I did to my car as now may have to shelve plans! I put in a random bid on car not expecting to win and ended up winning!!

Audi A3 3.2 V6.
Plans - new 15mm lowering springs, geo setup and a retrimmed sports steering wheel &
catback exhaust!!

Now mods on the FN on hold although my timing chain kit, FD2 oil pump delete & other bits sitting here staring me in the face , they'll have to wait

Where did you buy your arm rest cover if you don't mind me asking

I've just put in an order for the RRC manifold, thermals gaskets & drop in baffle

New disc and pads all around, pagid discs all around, pagid disc rears, ferodo 2500 fronts. See how they are, I have a smell of burning oil every so often in the car. Think I have a drop of oil every so often on to the exhaust. Its definatly leaking from the rear of the engine. Got the mech to look today. Its going in next week for them to look over and try and spot it. Its not dropping any oil, I check every 2days to keep a eye on it. So far it hasnt dropped.

I sometimes get that, my valve cover is slightly weeping, I've got a new one to go on when I do my valve clearances.

Lads I had the same oiling issue I would recommend a new rocker cover gasket kit. Did mine and all good

Also a good idea to freshen up the cam cover and swap out old tired nuts
