Got it

[Bounce]

Well guys ,did a 650mile round trip yesterday and brought my new CSL home to Cornwall.I had a smile on my face all the way home,i cant belive how much better it is than my stock smg M3.The car is in fantastic condition inside and out,the only down side is its on 60k miles,but hopefully im only going to use it once a week.Also my flap is missing,does this matter.Im gonna read the csl booklet today,but what should the oil reading be.:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

The guys will prob give a more detailed answer but the flap missing sometimes indicates a failure of it to function properly so owners remove them. I reckon your 60k wont be a problem if you intend to keep it and not do many miles, as this will let time catch up with the mileage if that makes sence! Plus it is still only floating around average mileage for a car of this age.

ENJOY. ps, when is the meet then????:beer:

Some CSL owners remove it to have the GRRRRRRRY induction noise :drool: all of the time. My "flap" was missing when I bought my SG CSL few months ago, so I reinstalled it as per O.E. and it works fine :thumbs: They are not always removed because the actuator is broken :whistle:

1.0 litre on dash should be good, if it reads 1.1 it could actually be over as I believe the highest reading it displays is 1.1,

Although I change my oil regular on my csl, bit of ocd, but I run a garage so its easy, I checked it on dipstick to perfect level and my display reads 1.1.

Pictures Speak a thousand words :thumbs::hahaha::hahaha::hahaha::hahaha:

Glad you got the car ok Brett - enjoy in this rare dry spell! ;)

Flap missing doesn't indicate actuator failure as mattCSLnut said; many remove it to get the extra noise all of the time - i removed mine over a year ago :whistle:

60k miles isn't a biggy for these cars :thumbs:

btw - weedavey - happy for a meet anytime at weekends - preferably when it's dry - maybe sometime over the festive period? :beer:

[mattCSLnut]

Either that or he SHOUTS! :hahaha:

Only 62K ?!?! You're not trying hard enough m8 :hahaha: ;) I'm @ 69.5K :bigcry:

[DuncanR]

Yeah but you are cheating Matt when they said that clocks need to go forward ... you put about 8k on yours ! :hahaha:

1.0 litre on dash should be good, if it reads 1.1 it could actually be over as I believe the highest reading it displays is 1.1,

Although I change my oil regular on my csl, bit of ocd, but I run a garage so its easy, I checked it on dipstick to perfect level and my display reads 1.1.It says 0.7 is that ok,if not ive got some castrol 10w60 in the shed for top ups.

[DuncanR]

mmm ... I worried when mine went down to 0.9 after a trackday Bounce ! But dont panic as Im not sure just "how low you can go"... wouldnt thrash the nuts off it though until a Guru replies to your post !;)

[Mark CSL]

It says 0.7 is that ok,if not ive got some castrol 10w60 in the shed for top ups.


Ok min 0.1 max 1.1 but if you over fill the dash will only show 1.1 not a good thing :thumbs:


I run my csl at 0.7 any where from 0.4 to 0.9 is good

[mattCSLnut]

It says 0.7 is that ok,if not ive got some castrol 10w60 in the shed for top ups.

No worries there m8. Mine reads 0.4 which is still fine. I think the hand book says anything between 0.1 and 1.1 is OK :thumbs:

[shimmy]

congrats on the purchase, sounds like you are enjoying it already!

my only recommendation for 60k miles would be to get the radiators cleaned inside and out, keep an eye on the water pump, and replace the coil packs and refurb the injectors the next time you are at a dealers or indie garage

also get the subframe checked out at the same time

[weedavey]

get the subframe checked out at the same time


Its definatley on my list when inspection II rolls round.

Oh bummer :bigcry: Sorry to hear that m8. The tension must be unbearable :banghead::bigcry::banghead::whistle: As I mentioned before, make sure all is well with the CSL when it finally arrives. I presume you'll have at the very least three months warranty from the dealer ?!?!
