oil

Morning all. Bit of an amateur question. I have the new GPF equipped S3, not sure if it makes a difference. And the car is completely standard. Was wondering what is the best engine oil for it? Castrol is written on the oil cap, but was wondering which one.... Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I found the smell of fuel in my oil around a week ago, so I instantly stopped driving it and ordered a new HPFP (which I was lead to believe from previous posts was the issue) had a brand new one from Audi and fitted it along with a full oil change and filter change, just did a cursory...

Hi all, Bought an Audi A4 Avant 2010 Multitronic 2.0l about 4 months ago and started having some issues with it. It has 130,000 miles. From cold it judders when moving off, has low power (until around 2000rpm) and awful rattle/grinding sound when pressing on the gas (up to around 1500 revs)...

Hi, I have a 2008 petrol 1.4 TFSI Hatchback I bought almost a year ago with ~103k KM, changed the oil and all the filters then after some research, opting for the Castrol EDGE FST 5w40 as I read it was better for "higher mileage" cars. I'm now at around 114k km and thought it's time to change...

hi all! I have an audi 2010 a3 8p black edition 1.8TFSI petrol around 70k milage. Been running a dream since i got it at 30k, regular services no major work However - it RUNS through oil. Id say 5L every 2-3 months. Ive coped but enough is enough. Also - when idle and rev the car - puffs of...

Evening all, I've seen a few forum posts mentioning issues with the 2.0TFSI oil pump. Is there an intrinsic design issue with them, and if so, how can I try to mitigate it on mine? I saw a link to this kit which claims to remove the (allegdly) problematic sprung loaded balance shaft sproclet...

I recently had my oil low warning light pop up, the oil was 1/3 between the min and max. I topped up around 750ml and now the oil is 1/3 above max. Should I be concerned?.

Hi all, This morning I’ve noticed a fair amount of oil residue from my engine filler cap - on closer inspection I have noticed it isn’t properly closed/sealed tightly allowing a small amount of oil to leak out. I have taken the cap off and replaced several times but no matter what I can’t get...

Hey guys/gals I am wondering what people are running in rear diff and gearbox/transaxle. I definitely have to do the rear diff and will be doing the Haldex again, I have no history on it being done, so did it last service and will do it again just in case. I've heard that Redline MT90 is the...

Hey guys, I’ve owned my Audi TT 2013 1.8TFSI since last April 2018. By October the oil light had come on and needed topping up by 1.25litres. On January 11th VW had it for some warranty work and told me the oil was again low and further topped it up by another litre. 600 miles later and...

Hello so my 2006 A3 2.0TfSi on throttle sounds like a wasps (I guess) sound coming from the turbo , is that a normal noise or ? And I have noticed that oil is dripping somewhere down the turbo side, do we think that could be a possible cause ? I have uploaded a video, but it’s not really...

Hey, I'm trying to access the oil pressure sender to check my pressure, and have ran into a fairly major issue. I'm assuming (with my very little knowledge) that it is located close to the oil filter which seems seems to be embedded quite literally as deep in the engine bay as humanly possible...

I've seen that there is an upgraded replacement for the 2.0TFSI engine but I cant find anything for the 1.8TFSI. My crank seal has failed within a week of a garage fitting a new one. Faulty part, faulty install or faulty PCV etc. I've removed the oil cap whilst the engine was running and the...

i tried searching for 'oil filter' as a string but came back with massive amount of threads all with 'oil' and 'filter' but not the full tag so here goes.. got a sealey to get the oil out of a previous mutt so gonna use it again but any recommendations for filter choices?? is amazon worth a punt...

Hey All, After some info regarding mileage service items should be changed. I.e. Spark Plugs etc ? If anyone has a definitive list at what mileage items should be replaced that would be great help! Dealers are useless and i dont trust them actually undertaking stated work on my motor, they...

I recently did an oil change (myself) and since there seems to be a leak from somewhere near the filter housing. Although the housing itself seems dry, most of the oil is dripping off of what I think is the secondary water pump? It was especially soaked in oil, under the rubber bushing that...

I need a replacement gearbox for my 2006 Passat 1.9tdi 5 speed. BKC engine, HNU gearbox. Is that the only code gearbox i can fit, or is there any others.? Many thanks.

Hi All, Has anyone got an oil siphon system to refil the S-tron box from the drain plug ? or know where i can get one from local to wolverhampton ? Same as the one in the photo or the funnel version. Cheers Alec

Hi I have a 2014 2.0 TDI 184 with manual box. I couldn't find many threads on gearbox oil change for the 8v. Is it needed? Just hit 116,000 miles. Touch wood no problem with gearbox but I wonder if 'longlife' is pushing it a bit. Thanks, Kris
