I am serviceing the 99 reg , rain stopped play , a few things , again oil filter and sump not overtightened, but when i took off oil filler cap a yellowy mayonais substance was in the cap, now since the Missus uses it 99.9 percent of the time 3miles to work ,Could this be the cause ?also since i last drove it millage is down from 28.6 to 16.9.

And no engine underlay so have to have a word with mechanic, why dont they tell you this , HAVE TO SOURCE ONE .

ps checked cooant for singes of oil , none , The seat had the same problem ( same journy) so ill have to take it twice a week to give it a good run , oil and filter change every 3000 miles.please share your taughts

sometimes you can get a little condensation in the engine..... and thats how a little water gets into the oil.

I dont know if this is compounded by all the small journeys.

As for the MPG, I am not surprised, the car will only be warm for half the time.

Just clean the oil filler cap and enjoy happy motoring.
