If you've noticed a whitish mayonnaise type substance on only your oil filler cap it's nothing to worry about. Happens in cold weather with short trips.

Agreed ^^ keep it in a low gear about 4th and you will burn off all the emulsion as I call it, just to do with cold weather, short runs not allowing the oil to recirculate properly.  :happy2:

I read a buyers guide for the mk5 gti a while back, and apparently someone had head gasket failure due to running the car on ordinary 95RON unleaded!!

Not head of that failure on here though. . .

I have heard a few times about head gasket problems on cars running long term on 95 RON.
