    Oil level at 1/3 after 1000 miles

    I have been checking the dipstick regularly and yesterday i noticed that the dipstick level has gone below the middle.I checked several times today to be sure,then bought 1ltr 5W/40. I know that a new engine can burn oil and i don't know if it was full in the first place,but so early:think:
  3. Best tyres for motorway miles

    The Mk4 diesel is wracking up the miles and as such could do with some new rubber. Any one have any suggestions as to which tyres to go for? Must have good grip and longevity, not really limited on price but must be good value for money. Have Firestone Firehawk on at the moment i think.
  4. How many miles to justify a Diesel?

    I'm still looking for a Leon at the moment and have only been looking at the FR TDI 170 model. I read another post on here and someone was suggesting the guy goes for the Petrol option as with him only doing a few miles a day there's not really any benefit in a diesel. This has got me...

    Tyre mould marks still there after 100s of miles

    Took the car to el dudes to get the brakes pressure bled yesterday (last thing that needed doing after the refurb) and when we took the wheels off I noticed that the mould join is still there on the middle of the tyres (F1 GSD3s). My first thought was "wow, these really don't wear quickly", but...

    2 coilpacks in 20 miles :(

    Hi Guys, I had my LCR remapped yesterday, and during the test run (about a mile) one of the coil packs failed. It was late on a friday afternoon, in the middle of nowhere but the guy who came to do it contacted a freind who he managed to "borrow" a coil pack off. It was replaced and ran like...

  10. How Many Miles on Front Tyres?

    I've done 33k miles on the Michelin Pilot Exaltos on the front of my 08 FR TDI on 18" rims. I don't hang about, but most of my 66 mile daily commute is on dual carriageways and straight roads. What mileage have you got out of a set of fronts on your TDI?
  11. Coil pack failed after 500 miles

    November I had a coil pack go (cyl3), then just before Christmas I had another go (cyl2). Cylinder 3 was replaced by a garage Cylinder 1/2/4 I replaced, with generic coil packs off ebay (Lemark CP003 on the box, and 081201BA on the coil pack itself). Probably done 600 miles or so since...
  12. 110,000 Miles in a TFSI

    Just handed back the 55 reg TFSI Sport after completing 110,000 miles. Having come from a MK1 Curpra I was initially slightly disappointed with the MK2 but on reflection it did something’s better and some not quite as well. Missed some of the little things that would not have cost a lot for...

    hey guys, right, first off, i was about 30mins away from getting the bank to pay a deposit and i would have secured a lovely TDI 150 that was at Volkswizard. Unluckily for me someone went there this morning and bought it/put deposit down. So onto the next car..... Seen a mint LCR, 55...

    100k miles so time for a refresh?

    I've absolutely no intentions of selling my LC and infact when trade up again plan to keep it as a second car so I'm thinking a bit of a refresh would be a good idea. I'm thinking of stuff like droplinks, wishbone bushes, etc Would it be worth replacing stuff like this for sake of it to...

    Service Miles 2000....

    Hi.. I got in my car after work today, switched on ignition and was greeted by 'Service Miles 2000' It then goes away after 5 seconds and goes back to normal reading of miles. I am guessing... that, that means I am due a service in 2000 miles. Sorry for my noobness, but I haven't...
