Golf R Observations and Questions

[pumped]

We have seen a couple of R's with that sort of oil leak, after cleaning it up & running them, they appear to be weeping around the main sump line. This is a sealant joint.

How is the problem fixed?

Spot on, that is the factory Nav antenna. However you may find, like myself, we have Nav but no aerial on the roof as we have fitted the Sat Nav at a later stage so have our antenna elsewhere.

Mate, buy an APR tune, it'll solve all of the R's problems. Ask Guy_H, he'll tell you!

Step one is to make sure all the sump bolts are up to the correct tension, if that doesn't work, then the sump needs to come off & be resealed!

Guy has given tons of advice and has helped many people with their questions over the years on this forum mate! So to pull that comment out is just plain pathetic and immature!!
Dont know of anyone else who has given as much support/advice without opening the cash register before hand.

For those in Victoria, does the golf R have a metallic windscreen , for Citylink etag purposes.
