ALEXIO Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 so my lupo gti has 154k km in dash. from 130k i noticed that if I threw the rev over 5k there is a smell of burning oil coming inside the car.from what i saw on other threads, it could be the stem seals.any other ideas??

Defcon5 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Any smoke/excess oil usage?Can you smell it through the vents? If so check your PCV pipework is all attached Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALEXIO Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 no smoke coming from the back. every 8k km i fill about 400ml of oil.havent checked the pipes..will do soon.oil is VW SUPER PLUS 5W-40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 If it smokes when it's revving it's probably the piston rings & if it's when you let off the throttle it's probably the valve stem seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 ^ Its not smoking though, and it isnt using a lot of oil.If its coming through the vents I reckon its from the PCV/a leak on the exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Sorry I read that as 'no, smoke coming from the back...' as oppposed to 'no smoke coming from the back...' ignore me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 theres no Visual Leaks in the Engine bay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTdi Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Clean air box/ throttle body and the breather piper. The breather pipe gets clogged up and leaks into the car a high revs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
