never buy transit oil caps on eBay that ain't genuine because you will end up with this.



Back to halfords for more oil now.

 

Just started it up and just blew through the cap.turned straight off then.

Just been to get a new cap and guy at ford asked me was it a struggle to get on.and it was

 

Out of curiosity, how much was the eGay one compared to the genuine one?

That's no good mate looks like the van needs to be at work too not sat around with no oil in it

I need some discs for my connect, even with discount they will sting me Ł121 was going to have a look at this transit parts uk, sure won't be now, have seen a couple of complaint threads about them

Don't bother mate ians2rst put up a thread with other people haven problems.just wish id of seen it before I bought from them.

 

good call imo
just lately ive found euro car parts reasonable when you use their click & collect after googling discount codes at least they have branches where you can go to if something goes wrong.

 

Tbh guys if you call into any ford garage and ask for a trade discount they'll give you at least 10-20% off,it does vary a lot.
If your brave ask for a priviledge club discount as this is what the traditional ford discount for employees is called,the savings can be immense.
Andy avoid garngoch if you can,they charge a lot more than plasmarl and they've been on the con there for years,notice how the guy always spends ages typing the stuff in the computer?
Very dodgy.

 

Are you talking about the oil filler cap?

If so, you've got bigger things to worry about if that much oil came out from just starting it and turning it straight off.

 

There is defo a lot of oil on the floor there.

 

on our mk7's even though the oil filler is higher up, trying to put oil into a running engine is a big Fail as it gushes out all over the shop

 

Why would you try to put it into a running engine ?!?

 

a lot of oil there to say you just started the engine,and then turned it straight off you where lucky I start the engine and off I go so I would have been fucked

 

the battery was flat so it needed a jump start, but before it was jumped the rac guy said it needed oil

and rather than put the oil in BEFORE he jumped it, he decided it would be worth putting the oil in AFTER he started it
