Bladerunner Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hi, took my 1.6 tdci 95 hp plastic engine cover off yesterday, I noticed a largish brass threaded hollow tube that was surrounded by a light film of oil-can't be right! This looks to me as there is a missing threaded bung or something-see photo (I hope) Can anyone have a look and let me know what you find.

Nathan_M Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Is it definately engine oil or has it been oiled by someone at a service etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladerunner Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hi Sam thanks for having a look, it does look exactly like mine, bit strange there is this apparent hole in the top of the valve cover without being filled unless its a breather but never seen a breather like this. Hi Nathan, well not sure how the oil got there but with it being spotless every where else on this cover I doubt it has been dropped there during the oil changes as this can be done without taking this cover off. Bit of a mystery to me what this hole is for. Anyhow any one else had a look at theirs? Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambooka Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Never seen any oil near mine and yeh it is a bit odd will have a better look at mine tomorrow incase there's something inside it that bungs it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladerunner Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hi Dave, it does seem strange why it's there, never thought of that though. At least there are more like mine! Cheers Martin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOCA Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 hi mine is the same may be to help lift rocker cover off (to fit FORD Tool)? Yes, it may be something like that, i don't think it is a "hole" and goes all the way through, so does not require a bung/ plug, the oil around may only be a co-incedance, there is often oil/ other fluids on engines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
