The symptoms would/could be..................?

Apart from a useless dipstick (Why do they have that stupid twist in them? ) which shows a different reading everytime i take a reading

Car still performs and does it's stuff but i seem to remember some kind of utterances about oil contaminating other engine components. Is that right?

MY00 by the way

Funnily enough some twonk just did it to mine. . . .

DO NOT BOOST

The oil will clog up the boost solinoid (sp) stopping it reading correctly - which can result in a blown head. It can affect anyother sensors on the way. It will clog up the vacume pipes.

I'm sure it'll do other nasty stuff as well.

Get it sorted asap & don't drive it till fixed

That's a bit harsh!!

Ok so clean out the boost solenoid and blast the vacuum tube through, anything else?

*Blown head * Good to see the newest generation of scaremongers are as active as ever Sure it's not me MAF

Thanks anyway knighty and just calm down a little

Just clean out the solenoid Mikey.

Anyway, what you worry for

the dipstick (not me) is the worst design i have ever seen. it is absolutely crap. how anyone tells how much oil they have in their engine is beyond me.

the dipstick is brill, it has markings for hot and cold oil level which is very useful.

read your owners manual properly and you will understand how to check your levels.
