Amongst other jobs that need doing is fixing a oil leak which I am sure is coming from the sump - now even losing when not running.
So a new silicone gasket is about to be applied. The sump bolts are fairly new with the elongated washers. When I bought the car it had two sump bolts that had obviously been stripped and it looks as though the holes were tapped out 8mm and bolts with nuts used to apply a nipping force. Another bolt feels "soft" now.
Obviously this will need sorting eventually - is it always an engine out job to use heli-coils or similar?
In the mean time, and I am sure I have asked this before, how much oil does a standard A7 engine need on refill, and what is the amount of oil between min and max on the dip-stick. I have search all my books and come up empty.
All help appreciated.
