  • Timing tensioner gasket

    Soooooo BB is not well, he sprung an oil leak on Thursday and managed to get him in to Freeborn, Winchester so they could have a quick look and it is a small gasket on a small bolt in the tensioner, it is about the size of a 20p coin but boy does it let some oil out.
    Anyway new part ordered ready to go in Thursday and gets done under my extended warranty

    I think this happened on my Vti.

    The guy said the nut works itself loose at the back overtime and causes a leak. Might be different to this... Was a few years ago so I may have forgotten or made up details!

    Keep us posted! Hope she she fine after the fix

      Update, been in and new part fitted, need to keep an eye on it for the next few days just to make sure that the oil leak has been sorted, should be easy enough as my dealership pressure washed underneath and got rid of all the oil that had leaked
