Assuming that it is predominantly road use and it's engine oil that you're talking about, 10W40 semi-synthetic or 5W40 fully-synthetic will be fine.

They are about the same price on the net. Which is better would you say?

Does anyone know the inlet size for a cone air filter for the 1.6 gti engine?

So found one of the boot lid hinge bolts was snapped off today. Managed to cross thread another spare 10mm bolt on for security as only 2 threads to grab on to but reckon it's not the original tailgate as the paint is flaking ... time to find a new one me thinks!

How to reduce your performance in one easy step. Sorry but this is awful, it’s now taking hot air from the exhaust manifold rather than cool from the front of the car. Put it back is my advice.

I will re locate it once I get some new piping as i realised that too. The old standard filter housing brackets were all broken and needed fixing which is why i changed it as it was loose. Not fussed about the power as I only poodle about anyway. :)
