Dave,

Cheers. Won't worry about it then. Spotted it while changing the water pump.

worth looking into cleaning intercooler if building up.
 done mine other day and  helped the turbo kick in quicker and pulls a bit better after the cleaning .

I also have a few cans of powerboost which make a bit of a difference if any one wants to buy any £15 each - theyre £27 in the shops
