i just want to check

[white-gt]

Ok so as far as I know it's always smelled of petrol , but today when I changed the oil it smelled strong in in oil that got drained out. Is this normal ? Or is it a case of get it checked pronto..

Running dastek ecu hybrid etc etc..

Your oil smells of fuel?

[white-gt]

Yeh petrol smell ..

Mine did this when it was overfueling as unburnt fuel was seeping past the rings

[white-gt]

so the oil shouldnt smell of fuel is that right? some people are saying its normal in a moddified car and some not.. ive had the fueling checked over my ownership and its fine apparently ..

[Kai_ethan]

Mine also has a slight hint of petrol

It shouldn't smell of petrol ideally - usually an indication its running too much fuel

[white-gt]

Mine isn't a slight hint...

I just done 250 hard miles on it today with loads of pedal to metal action and didn't miss a beat but does feel it should b faster as it was much quicker than a Clio 182 considering I've got a hybrid setup at 1 bar etc , I'll book it into performance hq get the map checked I think

If its stinking of fuel get it checked/sorted quickly. Don't be wanting bore wash / the fuel in the oil eating away at your bearings.

its booked into HQ performance next tuesday, i wasnt getting any running issues but now i am..

yesterday idle was acting strange, randomly sitting about 500rpm, vacume at -15psi instead of the usual -20, then it started to bob up and down a little and gradually drop until it cut out.

it restarted just fine though.

i have to use it for work this week so this morning from cold ging down the expressway gradually building revs in 3rd about 2000rpm it hesitated a few times and one point it made the dump valve go which was very strange! im gonna check the plugs are clean even thought they are fairly new.

any thoughts?
