  1. Looks similar to mine when I got it changed. RRG also sprayed some kind of odouriser to get rid of any through the pipes..

    Unfortunately that didn't help my situation (i.e. It was fine during startup and idle, but if I drive with A/C + recirc when driving around I get the smell coming through the vents)

    But to be honest it's bearable cos there isn't really a smell without recirc..


  2. I presume the muck you are referring to is the green "goo"? Some people have mentioned that the green goo elsewhere takes time to burn off..

    I presume you checked the cam coverplate already and it's dry..

    I have something similar and found the smell is strongest when aircon + recirculation is turned on.. might be worth playing around with the diff settings to see when it happens.. 

    Mine happens when accelerating in general I think..

    Closest thing I can think of in terms of smell is burnt coffee?

     

     


  3. Sorry guys/gals, I have a couple of questions

    - I know VAD told me it's not necessary, but did any of you buy insurance for this event?

    - I would like some advice on tyres - I only have had this car for a couple of months and it came with the original (circa 2015!) primacy tyres in the front and rear, but someone has replaced only one tyre at the front right - a primacy 3 instead of primacy HP.. I measure the depths and it was ~4mm at the rears and 6-7mm at the fronts.

    I was thinking of replacing all 4 with Yoko V105s, but wasn't sure if i should do it before or after the event.. I'm just afraid if i change it before the event I might damage my brand new-ish tyres..

    Thanks :)
