But Miller'#039s 5W40 costs $115usd/5L here. Miller'#039s does state it is a "quotMotorsport Oil"quot which is the type you might change every 500 miles of racing.
I can get 5W40:

I tried to do this and noticed the whole pipe was turning, so I just stopped.
Anyone any tips on how to loosen it off safely? Could do with a bit of A/C at the minute!
Is the system pressurised? If so, and the pipe is turning, you really need to empty the system before try

I noticed at the weekend a vacuum leak at idle on the boost gauge, on checking the usual I decided to check the oil cap and the complete neck extension came off the cam cover with cap attached nbsp  heat cycles must have taken its toll on the joint. The cap is now directly on the cover, so looks a bit odd with the engine cover on nbsp  but I can live with it at the moment.

Golf'#039s been a bit of a bugger lately.
The whiteline drop links nuts seemingly keep undoing themselves.. stuck some washers on them and some blue loctite and hope that'#039s the end of it now frankly!
Also it'#039s been cutting out which is very annoying, seemingly a bad throttle body, I'#039ve stuck a newer revision and younger one from a BWA TT and hope that'#039s sort

As a former rgv250 owner, I remember the happy times when I spent more on oil than petrol.
Those were the days. When i handed my wages to a Mr Stan Stephens to fettle my powervalve. 10mpg on a good day

Cant comment on the adapter lead - but for the power, you will need both constant live and switched ignition live feeds, plus an earth.
This shape / type of radio was used throughout the VAG brands - a cage adapter to suit the single/double din should be easy to source.
Are you wanting to use DAB? nbsp - If your current head doesn'#039t have DAB, you will need to lo

Holy metal crumbs batman, I'#039ve just seen the carnage pics. nbsp They look suspiciously like the thrust bearing remains we were talking about to me, which might explain the gear engagement issues, aka, crank walk.
The thrust bearing on these engines is a terrible design, basically only half a bearing compared to the usual standard. nbsp I pity the later EA113 engines with the

The scan tool output test bypasses all external controls, and the fact that didn'#039t work points to a problem elsewhere. nbsp Wouldn'#039t hurt to replace the sensors anyway if you think they'#039re misreading/not functioning.
Have you scanned the HVAC controller as that is also tied into the fan control? nbsp You say it doesn'#039t have AC....as in you'#039ve removed it, or it was never f
Door Module Part Numbers
Last Poster: Willy599 in Mk5 General Area on June 24, 2022, 11:39:15 am
Would anyone have the part numbers for the min versions of the front two door modules (5 door) or even have a set?
My car has a mismatched pair in it so I'm assuming previous owner tried to put in powerfolding mirrors but now I don't get auto windows so would like to swap them back.

Well -
I got the tracking done over a week ago, the nearest 4 wheel alignment place is Kwik fit over the hill, I have a pre-paid alignment package in place costing £150 that I thought I had 3x 4 wheel alignments in 2 years, already used 2, this time being the last. I thought I may have gone over the time limit...

You can buy genuine service books on eBay, stamped with dealer (or like dealer) stamps. You just tell them what you want.
I would never falsify a history, but if you have invoices you can recreate a service book using that data. You could even tell buyers it was a duplicate. As a buyer, a replacement service book that was stamped up, with supporting invoices, would be fi
