Re: Automatic Transmission leak.
Hi ,
I had a similar leak from my S3, it was the the front gearbox seal .its not an expensive repair just gently prise the old seal out and replace with a new one .
I took the gearbox out when doing my repair, this can be done without taking the engine out.
All the best ,

Re: Starter motor problems

Re: Misfire Petrol related?
Hi ,
had a similar problem when i first had my s3 ,
on investigating i found it was only running on a single pump.
Fitted a new electronic pump from SNG and all was cured.

Re: BEST ENGINE OIL!!
Hi everyone,
I use morris classic engine oil.
Change it every 12 months.
Having had this chemically checked when i worked in the aerospace industry it was found to be more than
adequate.
And it is sold by SNG Barratt my prefered supplier.
The previous comment is 100 percent common sense!

Re: Gearbox removal with engine in situ
Hi if you use 3 ton axle stands , I found these seem to extend higher and still keeping nice and solid you will get the car high enough to withdraw the gearbox, I would use a transmission jack to take the weight of the gearbox as well. I took my centre console and seats out as well to make it easier...

Re: timing chain replacment
Hi Marek,
does the cam cover have to be removed to enable you to see where the top of the tensioner locates?
Thanks Rob.
