Yes - this was my exact thinking, but when told by the garage i had no reason to disagree at the time - vacuum which isnt quite strong enough to open the vent
But it was certainly the sun which started it to leak again, it warmed everything up and it created the positive pressure instead, as we...

Hi all,
Im seeking clarification on what seems to be a strongly divided topic!
The 300TDI fuel fee system....
