why bother, we're not in germany...

In the Autodata book it lists 5w40, 5w30, 10w40 as an option for these diesels. long life services I would use the long life no ash stuff but seeing as you are like me and change the oil and filter every 6 months or fixed service 10k then it's up to you really,ordinary oil is good for that...

In the book and on the car display it is 10,000 miles or a year on fixed servicing, which is loads better than long life schedules cocking everything up with the oil inspection and time inspection reminders. Think it's 15,000 on long life services, but that needs special oil to be in there that...

sounds good, i'm up for a meet

Can't beat a matching set of tyres , glad to see theres still some people out there who aren't total minge bags driving round on Chinese rubbish. I drive round on 4 Barums on both of my cars, excellent tyres in my opinion, think I paid about 76 quid each plus vat, and fitted them myself To be...

I think they were something like a T15 from when i swapped the circuit boards into the panel that goes lower down for the double din radio, very small they are. mind you don't break any tabs

I have messaged you on facebook jon about the voucher, and sent you a pic too chris

I bought a Nilfisk pressure washer from machine mart couple of years ago for about £40, they are not bad little washers for the money. Nice and compact

yes i've booked to go on, the car was re mapped by them last year so would be interesting to see what kind of power I actualy have. it does look like we will have a large gathering !

How many from the Northwest are going to Awesome GTI ? seems to be people coming from far and wide. I will be there, you going on the rollers pabs ?

That is a good idea with the tyres, I had never thought about that before. I had an Escort off the road for just short of 5 months last year too, I'll bare that in mind for next time !

personally I would just stick a trickle charger on and thats it . to save the battery,could take it off the car and keep it in the garage to charge. I couldnt be mithered about dropping the oil, as you could do that when the car is back in use if you wanted to. you can look into things to...

I've used a few products all with good results. Auto Glym Ultra deep shine for dark colours. that is good stuff for just everyday polishing, or auto smart polymer polish or something like that it's called. Both work well with a machine polisher and eliminate small scratches and swirls. I...

i have them on mine in 18", i think they're a nice middle of the road sort of wheel, not the most saught after and not expensive as far as audi wheels go but a nice wheel none the less. I got all 4 last year for £360 and they had been powder coated, nearly a year on they are still in perfect...

I like the blacked out grilles, they are available black from the factory also. I have sprayed mine satin black, the car is dark blue (moro) and it's an improvement, I also have the black window trim so it's all the same now
