HI guys, Im getting white gunk in the oil filler car/neck which tells me their is water in the engine, but no sign of it in the oil dipstick, My friendly mechanic tells me this is just condensation in the block, not a problem, just hard to get rid of....
Just wondered if anybody else has experienced this?
The other thing is that my water Temp light has been flickering occasionally, I\'ve checked the water/oil and both are fine. Did panic a bit thinking they were both related! But its inconsistant, so one day it will flick on for under a second while driving hard, the next do it in a 30 zone! Also i\'ve been monitoring the water temp itself, which dosnt seem to budge at alll
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
rx7 temp gge is pretty near useless by the time it registers ur engine wld be damaged.get the car checked by a specialist straight away and they dont have a block as such.where are u checking the water level the sensor is in the middle pot attatched to the engine
Although no-one can definitively say you have a problem or not with the emulsion, this is very common. I had it on my 92 3rd gen (covered 120k miles before I sold it) , and I still have it on my 02 3rd gen (only 5k on the clock). I also remember other people asking the same question on this and other forums, and many answers are the same - it is a common thing.
But as with everything, just because I didn\'t have a problem, doesn\'t mean you don\'t! If it helps, have it checked!
Cheers,
Andrew
u can fit a catch tank in to the oil filler neck to catch the water vapor,worked for me.dont get the gunk any more
