I know its probably written down somewhere in helfrauds but just in case. What oil does the 75bhp petrol engine use? Mines running a little low. ta

i use the quantium stuff VW use, its only like £12

do we know what grade of oil to use in this one

i need to flush mine as i have had some fully synthetic in there, but since have had a tapping noise, me and my boss thinking the oil is too thin and not clinging onto parts properly, either that or no oil getting into the rocker cover....causing my valves to tap or something?

anyone else experienced this?

VW dont specify a viscosity, just state that it must specification compliant (eg VW501.00 approved etc) 5/30 5/40 10/40 will be fine
