    Damn it...knocking sound

    Just started yesterday. When pulling off from standstill there is a very subtle 'one-knock' knocking sound. As the revs hit about 1500-2000 in first gear and i start to lift off the clutch there is a knock which feels like it is coming from the drivers side around the accellerator pedal area/...

    Engine Oil

    Anyone used the Castrol Edge 5W-30 fully synthetic oil? Any complaints/recomendations? I see Halfrauds also do an Audi/Vw specific 5W-30 oil which is pretty much as expensive. Anyone have the balls to use that?:unsure: Cheers, Tom.
