It looks like i'm missing a seal in pic 1, there is oil all round the plug* in pic 2, where will the oil be coming from, the plug or the mising seal?

I think the missing seal is allowing some play in the fuel rail* which may be allowing some oil to escape as the engine moves under load.

* Correct me if i'm using the wrong terminology.

They cost a fortune, like 1.20 each when you can get the same thing from RS for pennies.

I thought i was ordering the seats and the o-rings came instead, i was pretty pissed let me tell you.

PMSL I remember you showing me the bag, with an upset look on your face.

So you can get them from RS for cheap, but you got them from Seat / VW and they cost you muchos?

What about the bung thats missing in pics 1 and 3, what's that called?

had a good look at mine at dinner, the "bung" you are referring to holds the fuel rail in place, just screw it in more

nope
thats on the vac reservoir
if you remove the 2 valves (n249,n112) from the reservoir and remove it altogether ..... then bolt the 2 valves to the back of the head

well my valve snapped where the bolt goes in and dropped down onto the manni
