    Hi can some please help. i had a miss fire on my vts since i have bought it. Now i have had a look at the plugs and every hole has got a puddle of oil around them, i have cleaned them up and run fine for about 10mins then when back the same. Any idea's what is causing it to fill with oil all the time

    is the oil on the plug itself? like all over the tip?

    i think he means in the pockets/bore that the sparks screw into, so it wouldnt be rings or anything, most likely camcovers leaking or camladders leaking

    did it on my mates 106 gti, went right up into the coil pack and fucked that as well.

    yes its on the tip of the plugs and in the bore and splashing up on to the coil pack and causing it to splutter on tick over and at low rev's. But i will i noticed that the rocker cover is leaking so it could be that but i dont no.

    its definatly not the pistons i no that
