oil

anybody got a guide to where to fill and drain and how much to put in. also is it worthwhile putting some sort of antishock gearbox oil. thanks

Sorry if I've missed any previous threads on this topic for this age of petrol engine, but at factory, what grade of oil is used with the 1.4 85PS petrol engine - car is an October 2009 new build. I have seen Castrol SLX ?W-?? on the accessory stands and VW seem to use this with the new Polo...

Hey guys i recently bought a 110 toledo tdi and on the dash when you start the car up the red oil light comes on and beeps 3 times. It then just stays on and flashes. The previous owner says that he put it on vag com and it come up as a sensor that goes in to the sump, so he replaced it and a...

Hello. I'm fitting a shallower sump to my TDI, on the new sump i haven't got the mounting for the oil level sensor. Can I remove the sensor? Will it cause a fault code/warning? Will I have to link the wire's to prevent a warning? Or is it something which will have to be switched off...

Hii, I am planning do an oil & filter change on my 2003 1.4S Petrol cordoba. Halfords website car parts link pointed me to the right oil type (Mobil 1 ESP fully Syn) for this make/model. But the Oil filter search didn’t point to anything. So I put in VW Polo 1.4 (which I think is the...

After spending ages sourcing a silicon y-breather I tried to fit it today only to find that the plastic lower pipe was split as well. It basically came off in my hand [:@]. With a little futher investigation I've found that there must also me damage to the oil breather pipes under the inlet...

HI. I would like to change the oil in my 2003 1.4 sports Ibiza gearbox. I have looked underneath and cannot find an obvious drain plug on the gearbox. Can anyone help?

Hi all, I visit today hoping for a glimmer of hope as my much loved Mk1 Leon Cupra stands outside in an induced coma. :cry: Whilst driving home on Saturday I was hit with the flashing oil light & three beeps signifying low oil pressure. I stopped immediately & not understanding what this...

I have baught an auto gauge oil temperature gauge and want to fit it to my 110 tdi. What sender unit will I need and where can it go on the engine?? Also, what pod have you used? Cheers Andy

Hi folks, Searched the forums, but can't seem to see a response to this issue... My oil pressure/level light (in the square config in the centre of the dash) came on (yellow - stays on...) during my drive to work this morning. Checked the oil level and it was a bit on the low side. So I've...

hi guy, do you know where i can find an oil cooler kit for my tfsi engine? (and a good price if is possible) :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

i have a problem with my lc when i hit around 5000 revs the red oil light starts beeping at me but when i slow down it goes off. I have changed the oil pressure and level sensors and checked the oil pressure with the gauge and its fine i even gave it an oil change and it still happens the car...

Would running it on 10W40 semi to vag 500.05 cause any harm for arround 2 -3 weeks? till i can get the cash for some 5/40. Also its a new build so will help it run in better as fully synthetic doesnt allow much wear in terms of running in.

Hi there ive recently sold a 1998 Seat Ibiza GTI 2.0 16v to a friend he has brought the car back today and is leaking oil from what i think is the Oil pressure switch , It only starts to leak when the car is started and pops the black rubber cover off when leaking Wasn't leaking when i...

Hi, I have a 98 Cordoba Sx which this morning cut out whilst driving. All the warning I had was that the oil pressure gauge flashed on and off and then the car just ground to a halt! I imagine it went into safe mode or something as I had time to pull over but it wasn't in a safe place. I...

The V5 oil change, in it's basic form, is very easy. Take the cover off the bottom of the car, take the sump plug out, take the end of the housing off, replace the filter, and reverse as necessary. Its really easily accessible, far easier than any other car I've done a change on. If anyone has...

hey guys, i know its not an exciting question, and one that i cant find the answer for by searching. But which oil do i use for my cupra tdi? im expecting it to munch through it haha. cheers, dave.
