ah
yeah i googled it last night and realised id been a doughnut. i did find this on my autodata disc though that it said use a longlife 506.1 0w-30 fully synth. presumabably this is because my disc is from 2006 and theyve gone back to using 5w-30 oils as ChrisGTL mentioned.

yep theres deffo an oil cooler, theres even on on the non TDIs but its half the size. Its located directly underneath the oilfilter housing, a square metal block. Not just for cooling but also for helping speed up the warming up of the oil in cold climates.
And no, no oil gets stuck in this, i have changed one before and it was empty.
Quantum is VW's own brand oil. So the only place (cheapest or otherwise) to get it is from a VAG dealers.
Went to the main dealer to day for a service kit and they said that they use 5/30 in the pd engines and charge £14 a liter which i think is a lot of money.
£14 a liter is a lot of money.... in fact that is an incredible amount of money for any motor oil, no matter how good it is. Try other suppliers.
For £14 a ltr I'd be expecting a tri-ester competition oil.
£14 * 5ltrs = £70 (thats just stupid)
spend ages reading , what is the best make to stick by , i have gathered i need 505.01 5w 40 oil,
but is halfrauds sh*t anygood or as discribed , cant remember but when i worked there is was made by someone reckonisable but branded frauds ,
if not what is the best , not going variable , would rather keep it simple and regular
also where is the place to get the answer above
cheers

Hello
I wonder if someone can help me with something, I recently purchase a 2006 Ibiza Cupra TDI 118 KW with a BUK engine that is advised to use a engine oil with the spec VW506.01, but in all maintenances the dealer use an oil REPSOL ELITE 5W40 with the spec VW505.01, so I think…. This car replace always the oil every 7500km and make maintenances every 15.000km`s…..
Could it be possible the engine have problems due to the appliance of this spec VW505.01?

In your case I'd suggest not. The oil they used was a pd engine specific oil, and it was changed every 5k miles, twice as often as required. It was a slightly thicker viscosity grade than Seat require but at least it was specific to the vag engine, and Repsol make a decent oil anyway.

ok, thanks for your answer
i only say that because all the maintenaces invoices of the oficial dealer have the oil to cheap... like 60 € each 5 liters..... and i know that a VW506.01 costs about 100 €, but i`ll go to see what the dealer have to say about it.
Thanks
any diesel specific 10/40 semi synth will be fine, duckhams, castrol etc.. As yours is the older non PD unit its not so fussy.
