P.s. it is approaching 160,000 miles. Also in the process of trying to source a rear bumper of anyone has one (dolphin grey)

You need 505.01 oil mate, 5W-40, Opie oils do a range suitable for your engine.

I ran a tuned PD150 Golf for 11 years and 102,000 miles on Quantum Platinum and it didn't suffer the common cam lobe wear than many do. It's dirt cheap, and you'll find a few folk selling on ebay as well.

507.00 is better performing than 505.01 , including wear .

505.01 medium quality oil.
507.00 high quality oil .
