Oil in boot problem - B7 RS4

Post by TimDogg » Tue Oct 22, 2013 12:43 pm

Guys - has anyone ever had issues with clothes/paper picking up oil in the boot area - I can't imagine what it might be. I've tried padding the boot carpet with newspaper and it picks up nothing then I'll leave some paperwork in the boot and a few days later it'll have oil stains on it.

Has anyone had this before - It means I can't leave clothing in there in case it gets stained?

Not had any issues myself,

Is it avant or 'loon you have? Possibly from the locking mechanism or the hinges for the boot lid (saloon)

It's a saloon and I haven't spilt anything that I can remember - The boot locking mechanism might be something to look into actually - I might put one of these in...

Awesome pic Paul, I just put a dust cover on mine but just can't bear to store it for the winter. Just love your car's stance!

Here's a drive-by of me in Bavaria recently...

I know - I followed an R8, F430 and a Gallardo into a gas station and 2 German guys came over to mine first - weird but much appreciated!
