Ok so I've gone to check the oil on my 05 Leon FR TDI, and it's confused me a little. I'm not sure where the mion and max marks are on the dipstick, can anyone help. There is a bend in the dipstic but no markinhgs, e.d -----------\______/--------- (ish0

Also i've looked at the oil Sticky and been a complete useless ar5e when it comes to car, I have no Idea what to use to sop it up?

Please help again.

Sorry for been so useless!!!

Cheers, I managed to find that bit. And I'm very low. Just need to know the oil now. So so not understanding what to get.

Any (but only) oil that carries the VAG 505.01 approval.

Millers is probably the cheapest and you can get it for around £25 but you may struggle finding it.

Next, I'd go in to your nearst FORD dealerand and ask how much the oil they keep for the Galaxy tdi 130/150 bhp costs (say the ones with the PD VW engine in).

Its the synthetic stuff.

Read the back of the tub to make sure it says VW 505.01 - I just paid £28 inc vat for a gallon.

Pour in and keep remainder for next service if you have enough left or if not, for topping up there after

Thanks for the sensible answer.

I managed to get a gallon for £18, bargain!!

The manual specs VW507.00 for dpf pd engines (like the FR) btw.
