Looks like the same amount of gunk as in mine here in the UK where it's cold but not as cold as Central Europe. All down to the short runs I do to work (too lazy to get on me bike). I cleaned mine out the other week before a good motorway run to Stansted and back - I checked it the next day and it was as clean as a whistle  :).

danzigfan, that's quite normal.
I had roughly that amount of mayo in filler neck, back in the days when it was still on the car.
I've removed it 5 years ago - no problems ever.

I will keep the filler neck for now Bojan and I will take a look now into small breather hoses on the top of the plenum to see if there's any gunk inside. Thanks

Yep, a good motorway run will help, as the sustained high revs will heat the oil up, ensure some airflow through the breathers and also fling plenty of oil up into the filler pipe to clean it!
