Liam-R Posted December 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Well I've been reading and apparently you need vw specific.... Vw50501 which is 5w40 synthetic :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam-R Posted December 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I've bought the 5L halfrauds vw/Audi stuff. £42!! Madness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 You need oil which meets the spec VW 505.01. The cheapest place for this is to go to a VW/Seat dealer, where they will sell you 5L of Quantum PD oil for <£30. Guess it's a bit late for me to be telling you that now though!

7upo Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Dont put cheapo stuff in it, diesel oil needs to be good quality with good cleaning agents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
