This VW Tiguan 2-litre turbo came in for a service. During our checks, we found quite a bad oil leak around the timing cover area.
This engine has a plastic upper timing cover and a pressed-metal lower cover. The photo shows oily residue around the cover area that needed attention.
Checking for problems like this is part of our service. We explain what we find and what’s required to fix it, so the owner understands what needs attention and can plan the next step.
The car was only in for a service on this visit. We advised the customer about the repair, and they planned to return to have it done.
If you’ve noticed oil around your engine or where you park, have the source checked. Knowing where it’s coming from is the starting point for deciding what needs repairing.
For servicing or help with an oil leak, request a booking with Speedwell in Hamilton and tell us what you’ve noticed.
