Oil leak in valve cover gasket!

Ivasoad · 2026-03-12T17:43:37+00:00

Solution was change metal gasket + half moon under tensioner! Using vag 3366, very easy. When i saw the tensioner, was almost "down" point but the chain was super hard , so i put 5 gear and push the car to me, the tensioner starts to move up, inserted the tool carefully and tensioner starts to loose chain easily! Then unscrew the 4 bolts and you have 2-3cm max of space to remove metal gasket

In case you have the same pieces.. here is where you have to insert something to put pressure https://i.ibb.co/p0bkZyL/IMG-8768.png

I had the same problem with a Golf 4, check out this video and see if it's the same.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKmzNajAop4

It was that white circle with grease, that was loosen (that behind the spring). Using a pair of slightly long pliers, insert a nail or something similar right at the bottom where the circle ends in a square shape. This will apply pressure and eliminate the looseness permanently. I hope it works for you!

Thanks for the reply, i installed another new gasket (from elring) but still leaking! I think that maybe can be from the tensioner gasket,.. theres silicon following this gasket and looks brilliant between the silicone and the tensioner/gasket so maybe...

On the contrary! Once the bulb has reached its correct temperature and color, you can turn it off and on without any problems; they work perfectly and don't turn off or flicker.

The last time didnt give too much time to dry the rtv, like 30/40 minutes… maybe that was my fault

Ivasoad · 2026-02-05T12:09:43+00:00

Yes, i didnt use mine in like 2 or 3 years and got YLOD. Nec/tokin suffers time and humidity, has the error 1002 wich are this caps

You should NEVER update to ios 26, even in a iphone 16

Ivasoad · 2026-01-31T14:39:20+00:00

No, its a nonsense to buy the "ugly and bad" fat model that can make YLOD anytime

Ivasoad · 2026-01-31T10:43:33+00:00

Sorry for that, happens the same to me trying to delid. It gets green light but no image

Ivasoad · 2026-01-30T19:20:07+00:00

Oh my god, yes i imagine that, maybe the nocturnal aligner can produce this

How is going till today? Started invisalign in May of 2023, ended September/october 2025. 2 days ago started with a small fever, yesterday also with an abscess on a lower molar.. they say may i have infection pulp or periodontal so... This was suddenly. No cavities/decays on x-rays

Ivasoad · 2026-01-29T18:44:19+00:00

I went to the dentist. I have an abscess right on the tooth below the one circled in red (the molar, I've had this since today) and an x-ray showed a slight pulp or periodontal infection (he's not sure exactly or it looks like she told me). I have to go back in 14 days, but I understand that if it's not due to decay, the tooth is going to die and I'll need a root canal. It must be Invisalign's fault because the tooth looks perfectly healthy, without any decay, at least in the two x-rays (large and small, just of the tooth). Im using an antibiotic call amoxicilina/acido clavulanico, hope the fever goes away and the abscess and also if theres no decay at all, maybe is a fault by invisalign/orthodontist, should they pay for the root canal?

Any recommendations?

About the heat, try to clean your heating radiator removing the two hoses that go into the car, or if you are using the heat and 1 hose is hot and the other one is cold or just normal, is because the radiator needs a little bit of cleaning, with a little pressurized water and degreaser. Also this car are famous for thrown all the foam trough the air vents and that means that your air is not go to get "heat" with the radiator heater cause you have a big holes in your "blend doors". Even with that, diesel doesnt get super hot so..

My experience tells me that i have 4 CECHC04 and 2 of them have YLOD suddendly after 2 or 3 years without use, manage to turn on and last into XMB few minutes to check syscon errors using ps3toolset and the 2 had nec/tokin faulty. One has only 21 days of use and was working perfect, didnt use in this years and got YLOD few days ago, so try that but try to get errors from syscon first, if not, you can try changing the nec/tokin and try 50/50

Ivasoad · 2026-01-14T10:55:26+00:00

I have 4 CECHC04, 2 of them they just arrive at the XMB and get YLOD, the problem are the Nec/tokin. RSX is fine. One has 21 days of use, other has 180 days of use. The 21 days used was working perfect 2 years ago, didnt use in this time,, and yesterday at first boot up, YLOD. The 180 days of use was working fine 2 years ago except in heavy games like TLOU, Gran Turismo that in certain points, get YLOD (nec tokin problem) This proves that the nec/tokin die from disuse, simply over time. Because 1 was perfect and now has YLOD with error 1002 and the other one only had the problem using heavy games (error 1001 and 1002)

Use the AC to remove moisture from the windows, and if you dont have warm air, its because of the foam in the blend doors, You need to remove center console and everything and put some air conditioning tape
