So what are we thinking then guys? Take this back and go quantum 5w30? The car is at 173k and is going for a dyno remap at badger5 at some point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So it’s okay to use this oil then? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I’ve done some reading on the forum and it advised me to get this; https://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-parts/engine-parts/engine-parts1/engine-oils/?521771851&&cc5_252 I’ve just picked it up and realised it doesn’t say “503.01” on the back? I don’t know what it means but judging by the...

Yeah that was the plan anyway to be honest, but it’s always good to get other opinions, and also see what experiences people have had or little things I should pay some attention to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can in the skyline but it’s a pain in the ***, trust me I’ve done a few tip runs and people do look at me funny! Lol. I’ve only had it a month but haven’t yet drove it, my 4 years no claims comes in on the 8th so that’s when my insurance is starting which I’ve already payed for. I’ve...

I’m not going too mad with it, I’ll probably just go with a turbo intake pipe and a green mesh filter, I like the standard look of the car and I’m only hoping for a little more “poke” as I said it’s a daily, I’ve got a skyline for fun, but going from the skyline to this is quite boring lol...

Ok mate sweet. I’ll probably do it myself, only ever worked on Jap RWD cars before but always up for a challenge and learning! Thanks dude. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll have a look through receipts, just out of interest I don’t suppose you would know the labour charge roughly be for a clutch fitted? And where’s the best place for a new loom? I was going to get all new coil packs to be safe, as I’ve had 3 Leon cupra’s and every time I mapped them atleast...

Oh right okay, any idea where the fuel pump fuse is? I’ll just do a compression test cus I don’t have any known faults, if compression is bad I’ll do a leak down. Thankyou mate, they came with the car, I do like them! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok that’s sweet, ill compression test, show him the results see what he thinks. Anyone have a guide to compression test and leak down for this engine? I’m pretty sure I know how to do a compression test, put tester in place with all plugs removed, unplug injectors and crank a few times? But...

It’s ideal cus I’m so close too! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I have asked and he said FMIC, downpipe and tip depending what I want to spend, I’ll be driving up there in the new year ASAP for a proper chat with him and so he can have a look over my car, but I just wanted others opinions on mapping a car with such high mileage. Sent from my iPhone...

So on an engine with 150k what would be acceptable? I’ve read somewhere 150-160 on older engines? 140 and below is bad? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I’ll be getting it custom mapped at badger 5 on their dyno as I live like 10 mins away from them. That’s ideal then cus I didn’t want to spend silly money as I’m not going to mad with this car it’s a daily. In regards to the air filter I was going to stick with a green panel filter? Or...

Yeah ill be doing that over the weekend I think, I’m sure they do a smoke test/boost leak test before aswell as a fault diagnostics test and health check, so providing compression is good I’ll be taking it there to see what they think[emoji106] just wanted opinions too to be honest. Any ideas...
