Pimping your own ride?

Mine doesn't leak - someone who knows what they're looking at, looked at it the other day and identified it's had the modded gasket fitted at some stage in the past.

Oh... and , it's still for sale - I'll take £395 no offers... even with it's problems, that has to be the cheapest R plate 620Ti you'll find, that still moves under its own steam. ;-)

At all ? I've never seen a TI without a little oil dribbling down the block.

'97 onwards, all have the Klinger gasket as standard. It doesn't stop the leak - it just stops the leak growing. But it doesn't normally grow anyway - as Lordy has pointed out, the headgasket stuff is just a myth from association with the (completely different) K-Series.

Front passenger-side of the engine block - Klinger gasket has a rectangular tab that sticks out. That's how you tell if you have one or not.

Well surely a small leak that doesn't get any worse, then that's not a major problem.

But if leaks are regularly getting big on lots of examples of that engine, then I'd call that something to worry about!!

Thats because it looks like dirt when its clean :D

Grey/Red Primer over about 7 diffrent flatted down colours = the tasteful paintjob..

I've not looked that closely, but it appears to be very clean in this respect.

Ah, that'll be why then, given its a 98.

It doesn't appear to have soiled the drive. ;-)

It is indeed one of those, then.

Both, or just one? If one, care to enlighten me as to which?

Aye, mine never dripped (that I saw) either. It's only a tiny little leak - just enough to coat the block in a fine film. It never needed topping up between services or anything.

That's exactly it. They all do it a bit - it doesn't usually get any worse.

Agreed. But it's not regular on lots of examples :)
