Well everyone the time has come, I've had my fun and decided to find something a little more sensible. Today I traded in the trusty S5 with it's phenomenal sound track for a dirty derv. Picked up my 2014 Golf GTD today and really loving it. Thanks all for your advice and guidance. I'll be...

In my S5 I use longlife oil but change it every 12 months. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Honestly I would change the oil every twelve months. It's probably one of the most important parts of your engine maintenance.

Looks a lovely example! Hope you enjoy the forum.

Maybe a bit of WD40 and a wire brush to clean up the threads first :)

I never get why people leave coilers exposed when they fit them? I'd rather cut up a bike tyre inner tube, pack it with some grease and zip tie it around the bottom to protect the threads.

That's good then, I'd pop out today and get some oil to top up with then.

Yeah I think it can be pretty common, was the light red or amber?

This stuff is excellent: BG244 I've used this on my parents Jaguar XF and the petrol version on mine and my girlfriends cars, seems to do the trick.

Im going through something similar now. My '09 S5 has the tiptronic box and Audi just flat out refuse to change the fluid and filter for me quoting "It's sealed for life sir!" Good local garages I trust want about £500 as the oil is so ludicrously expensive!

Ohh hard to say I guess! The S4 will definitely feel more special, however I thought the seats in the S3 were much more comfortable. However, that V6 is very hard to get out of your head once you've been in one, my mate Joe has one and it just sounds amazing. I don't really care for going fast...

Are you sure it isn't the oil pressure sensor light? As a precaution I would have the sump taken off at a vag specialist near you and have the oil pickup pipe replaced, they're reasonably cheap and could save you from some considerable bills in the future. I had my old S3's pickup pipe changed...

On the M4 near Newport I've seen them go off while there was no restricted limit in place. I was doing 70mph and some guy whizzed past FLASHFLASH. So I guess those ones are always on...

This was my old one, miss it more and more everyday! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah sorted then! Thats a good deal. I can understand you liking the colour, I had an S3 in Dolphin Grey, what a brilliant colour. If ever I get another S3 it will have to have to same.
