    Just bought my first s3y help appreciated

    It will feel so good driving that when it's all clean and shiny. I bet it'll come up really well after a good wash wax and polish

    Depends on your mileage pal and if it's been changed already. I think it's every 80 k it needs changing.

    First thing should be a good service. I had my oil pump fail because it had been stood drove it for 100 miles and sludge blocked the oil pick up pipe. I'd also do a sump clean and clean out the oil pick up pipe if I were you. Do a haldex service. Just generally keep an eye out for any weird...

    engine rattle problem

    Advice on oil sludge removal

    I'm in really mixed minds of what to do tbh. Tempted to replace the complete head with a second then do a complete overhaul of mine, new valves seals lifters cams and bearings.

    Advice on oil sludge removal

    My car is tapping like mad. I've done oil pump and pick up. Next up is vvt unit but I reckon there's a bad lifter as it can barely idle on start up after being stood a day or two. I'd like to just get rid of as much remaining sludge while I'm there and I'm tempted to try this. Sounds good to me?

    engine rattle not vvt unit?

    Iv bought a donor head for the vvt unit because my car is rattling it's nuts off between 1-2k revs. Since buying the head and seeing which way around it goes the rattle sounds as though it's coming from the opposite side from the chain? Any ideas?

    Yes but if you n the seller are unsure if it's the right part or not then surely the best thing is to do what I done which is to ask someone better it's just a shame that I missed out in the meantime I wasn't sure enough to take the gamble am watching a full complete amk head now so every cloud...
