Took advantage of black friday deals on parts and gave her a service. Seems despite it only being a few years old, the rocker gasket is weaping oil into 1 of the spark plug holes again 
Might be a crap brand gasket or not tightened down enough, I have seen a sealer added also but was a different makeTook advantage of black friday deals on parts and gave her a service. Seems despite it only being a few years old, the rocker gasket is weaping oil into 1 of the spark plug holes again
Used an Elring gasket which is made in Germany and i believe is OEM, but guess it could have been a bad batch or maybe some sort of manufacturing defect.
I used RTV on the 6 points specified by the manual, all surfaces cleaned and everything torqued to spec. Maybe i'll use a tiny amount of RTV on the plug part of the gasket this time see if that makes a difference.
odd if it is a bad batch, next time use that butyl tape like we doo on the doors next time , wont leak then lol

@Manic172 very interesting build, I'm with you not my cup of tea but I like parts of the wrap does look like some cash has been spent to be fair. I'm with you on the what could it be hiding ( I always think this when you see cars that have just been fully re built with 500 miles since rebuild, like why spend all that then sell when it's in break in period) ? ?
If Santa wants to do a bit of eBay shopping, I don't mind that appearing on my drive Xmas morn ?? Either would be nice ?
For anyone who thinks VAG cars are hard to work on, I just spent most of my day on my dad's Jaguar.

My new bed room?
The place where I have the workshop the car is in. They have decided to sell the land. Not tell any one... just been given 2 weeks to clear up and get out hahahah
I have had to seriously think about can I store and work on the car at home. I don't have the room really to carry on with it.
I am paneling out the over sized shed . But truth be told. I don't think it will even fit threw the doors ?
Sorry mate, that's really rough news...happy new year eh!
We've got room on our drive if you ever need a base, but no garage I'm afraid ?
Just bought a 12 plate SEAT Ibiza for daily, so another member to our SEAT family. We've called it Frank ?
Motherfu... ahem, I mean that was awfully kinda of them.
Considering how much stuff you have as well as the car, that's going to be a hell of a mission
Happy New Year Cupra peeps ?
Wish you all peace
Wish you all peace
From middle of North Sea, hope you all have a Happy New Year and look forward to more money spending in 2025
