Very interesting. Baby oil - that's a new one (to me at least). FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

Not sure how, one guess would be inject baby oil (heated) into the exhaust at the rear and look for leaks, it produces a thick white smoke, maybe blown in with a hot air blower? |

Yep - main garages are just as bad as others.... its just that they have a nice sign and coffee.
