I initially painted original boot badge in all black and it bugged me from the moment I stuck it on. So, in a moment of devine inspiration, I noticed a slimmer, curvier badge on a newer VW only this time I've gone for the 2 tone and I'm so glad I did

Recent Caddy purchase didn't run right, and had oil collecting around the injectors. And sometimes diesel leaking from the return pipes. I also had a glow plug code on cylinder 1.

Bought a new rocker cover/gasket, new injector seals and new return pipes/o-rings. When removing the injectors, the last numpty that did some work have snapped one leg off the 3-4 injector clamp, so it wouldn't have been holding the injector down enough.

£100 in parts, 3 hours labour, and it's running sweet as sugar now. 250 miles later and no oil or diesel leaking.
