Gaelic Follies: Irish's Automotive Journey

New PCV/Oil Separator seems to have halted the A5s consumption issues. If it didn't I was going to seriously consider unloading it. Next up: research and install some form of muffler/resonator to get the thing down to a dull roar....

Gaelic Follies: Irish's Automotive Journey

Dealer is going to replace the dome light unit (including the lighting control module) on sonny boys GIT. In Outie news, I replaced the PCV and so far the oil level is holding, there is no tell tale smoke when hooning and it no longer smells like a Bayou oil refinery. Time will tell as I have only p...

CRAPURA replacement-The impossible task.

I’m going off memory here. The Audi is the sons last ride that is burning oil, now replaced by the gti. The Z was something for another son also ? But it wasn’t driven for a while and some sort of fight with the department of transportation ? MK6 was Irish's from long ago (I think still is), A5 bou...

JP’s Family Truckster

Just looked at the beast, trying to find out if a mouse made a nest in it or something. All looks clear so far. But I noticed a bunch of oil pooled up on top of the motor from their sloppy oil change. Time to find a new dealer I guess. Ugh. Honda dealerships out here are the absolute worst. Isn't f...

Wait so the car had new rings/timing chain put in by 125k miles and is STILL burning oil or is burning oil AGAIN? The ring job was done at 30k by previous owner (under warranty). It subsequently drank no oil....until recently. The timing chain was preventative @90K...attempt to prolong engine life ...

It finally got driven down from Upstate NY.
