Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Is it the thumping noise your looking at? If that's the noise take off your air box and if you hear a thumping noise and Also blowback through the oil filler cap it's your cam shaft, those engines are always wearing cam shafts out.

    They only wear camshafts out when muppets use the wrong oil. The VW PD engine requires specific PD oil. I think your gearbox is a gonner.
