  3. Mk2 Engine, Exhaust and Induction
    Hello, So I have this problem where I'm cruising on a motorway for about an hour and suddenly I notice that my oil temp reading has completely dropped and oil pressure is 5 bar (drops to 3/4 when idling).

  4. Mk2 Turbo & Intercooler
    Hi there. So I just did an intercooler upgrade and what I noticed when the stock one was removed, it had some oil on the tubes (mostly passenger side/I have a left hand drive car). There was no oil dripping out of the IC, but I could feel some dried out oil with my finger inside the IC itself...
  5. Mk3 Petrol Engine, Exhaust and Induction
    I've noticed that in the last 4-5 months I've had to add a litre of oil on two separate occasions. First time was in April and I was surprised how low it was, nearly at the minimum mark. This weekend, it was worryingly just below the minimum. Reading the increasingly regular and terrible news...

  10. General Topic Discussion
    Just a heads up really if anyone's doing an oil change this weekend, both Halfords and Tesco have the 4 litre Castrol Magnatec A5 stop start 5W30 on offer for £28, but if you check your local Tesco (larger stores) the 2 litre bottles are on offer for £9 each, so instead of forking out £56 just...
