Nice to see its running well Rob. :congrats:
-
yeah makes a change, seem good figures on dyno dynamics rollers.

:signLOL:
Good News Gaz :happy2: Dyno Dynamics i take it?
Wheres everyone results??
-
Yes Phil dd rollers and they were bang just like Jkm
-
Has anyone done a table of results Matt??
-
Dont think so mate but we can all post up what we got today,I will when I get in later today as graph is still in the car
-
Here's a couple of photos from today. I'll upload more to my site later

Some awesome machinery in that first pic! :happy2: :wink:

Lots of people online, but few wanna say their own results?
Dont be shy, us southern softies cant take much more of this waiting :laugh:

Phil - all the results were between 200bhp and 400bhp with the exception of the Pork :P
Okay, here's some other photos:-

Interesting that they have done 4th gear pulls, JKM/Surrey Rolling Road are generally 3rd. Great to see all the pics, looks like everyone had a cracking day :happy2:

Before the next person posts can we see the RPM along the bottom please. :tree: :tree: :smiley:

mine stage 2 revo and before the intake the car made around 311bhp and now after fitting the evoms last night and the still need to be driven more to take full advantage of the new air going in

No will make more when you buy a fuel pump. :xmaspresent: :P

all in good time my very good friend :xmaspresent: oh and thanks again mate the evoms has made it sound bloody crazy :rolleye:

:love: :wink:

^^^^
@ Mat:
The EVOMS has made about +20 bhp on cars on JKM's dyno too.
Tom Cunningham's TC's AFR plot doesn't look right to me - Shouldn't it stay as an even flat line after the initial drop?
Which air intake are you running, TC? :happy2:

looks like its running a bit rich up the top end, nothin a decent intake wouldn't sort out :smiley:

....Mine's as flat as a pancake with oem pump on K03 on Revo2.
EDIT: Just read your post, gaz. Mine has been flat with both Carbonio and Twintake. But yes, that's one of the benefits of a dyno session - It highlights things for fine tuning.

I was just going to say your car sounded really nice has you was going Mat :happy2:

Actually TC's is leaning off towards the top end. Not enough to be concerned about but something to be aware of.

sorry pal you are correct, i apologise for my stupidity :smiley:
-
hadnt even read your posty by then mate. i was merely pointing out that it was the smoothest k03 graph ive seen.
I agree it is leaning out on the AFR, so there maybe is a little bit more to be had there with a bit of adjustment on the fuel map

incredible plot for a K03 bacillus :notworthy:
whats your secret?
-
Totally standard Edition30 230Hp-240Ftlb Torque.
Also, its no excuse at all but I always use V-Power. I got off the motorway at Ainley top and went to the Shell station in Halifax but it was closed. Being desperate for fuel I had to use the 97ron Esso supreme, but like I said, prob wouldn't have made much difference to the figures
:santa:.
-
Come on Gaz and Tom, where are your figures then.
Who made the most on a K04?
If I'd been there I would have organised a sheet to take everyone's figures...didn't anyone do this? :popcornsoda:

APR Stage 1, very happy with my numbers.

Do you think a new pump would be to much as i reckon it would hurt. Thanks for any advice. :booty: :signLOL:

quite pleased with that :laugh:

Is it me or is Pauli's torque a little low for a stage 1 k04 car?
TC before you go stressing and spending more cash, what was your revo settings yesterday as a slight tweak may clean up your AF graph.

Ah my new best logging expert, buddie
I cant remember 100 % as PG had a play with my settings at the Awsome meet. I think it was boost 7 timing 9 fueling 6. but the timing and fueling could be the other way round. :rolleye: :happy2:
-
Okay dudes, I'm extremely happy with these figures with just stage one:
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fll213%2FT88OMM%2FIMG_0001.jpg&hash=0772700f8e7a81738fb1d2f1dfb2334c01350e08)
-
Hi TC,
I reckon that your settings are the other way around - much more likely to be running timing at 6 :rolleye: I'd knock your fuelling back to 8 and it is running a little lean, you may even need to go down to 7. You can actually log your afr yourself by measuring lamba, multiplying by 14.7 to get calculated AFR.
Dom
-
some great results here - now anyone who went and has an Android phone..
install the aDyno application and lets compare the results.. should be interesting! :happy2:

Cheers Dom. :happy2:
I will see when my new expert logger, Bacillus, can fit me in. if i can squeeze a bit of time away from the misses this week and try your advice. :driver:
-
Richening fueling is the way to go but seening that TC don't have an uprated HPFP, I would be more inclined to try lowering boost to 6 in the first instance and log the lambda values.
-

I actually was running 6,9,6 but PG and I decided to try upping the boost to 7 after i fitted the intercoolers. The car has definitely been faster since we did this especially in third gear.
I will see if Johno can sneak off and do some logging with me. Do you need to let the car adapt to the changes with the SPS switch before logging can be done, or can it be done straight after. :smiley:
-
You can log straight after but any change to the map will need some adaption time to see the full extent of the change(s).
-
mmmm
as ever its a minefield :happy2:
All great results though , which we need to collate together.....
TC car runs strong but as bacillus states is on the 'edge' of the fuel delivery anymore and I suspect he'd experience fuel cuts if pushing it any further so the tweaks are to be found with the other settings.
still havent replied to my question bacillus :wink: as you appear to have found the K03 secret :drinking:
In general the lack of a std plot for the revs vs bhp is making the graphs look very different.
Pauli's curves are low at the bottom end (compare the bhp at say 3500 to Toms), you may have a small boost leak etc
(as the top bhp figure seems great), log the boost to find out :happy2:
The K04 maps should come in at 3k rpm ish (seems theres always a difference between on the road spool time and dyno spool)
as youre at full boost by then (or should be).

still havent replied to my question bacillus as you appear to have found the K03 secret
:surprised: :drool:
I didnt realsise that was a k03. good effort,
what have you done to manage that and what software etc. Normally you could get shot down for the dyno lottery, but since everyone else was on the same dyno, samwe day etc, im mega impressed
-

And the fact that my standard ed30 came back with a 230.0 shows the rollers to be quite accurate :santa:
-
a K03 car, maintaining power to beyond 7k rpm?
Hmmm.
K04 car i can believe!
-
TC before you go stressing and spending more cash, what was your revo settings yesterday as a slight tweak may clean up your AF graph.
....Exactly what I was about to post.
Tweak your Revo settings TC and your AFR plot will probably flat-line as it should - But do it sooner rather than later. That will leave you free to consider your pump options in your own time. There's also the upgrade to Revo2+ to consider if you change your pump. Such mods won't break your K03 car but 2+ will push things harder - This why I personally have stepped back from going further (famous last words?).
What intake are you currently running?
-
a K03 car, maintaining power to beyond 7k rpm?
Hmmm.
K04 car i can believe!
....When it eventually gets published later next week, check out my Dyno-Dynamics plots (K03) - The max power is held up to 6.8k revs and doesn't nose-dive but just gently eases off.
-
You guys think I have boost leak? I thought around 250lbft was low. May be worth getting the forge DV my standard one may well be leaking. but wouldn't my bhp be down too with a boost leak?
-
interestin RR...cos one of the biggest differences between the K03 and K04 was the ability to maintain boost/power beyond 5.5k rpm from all info i've seen in the past 4 years. Apart from the "one" custom example that did over 300bhp I've yet to see any others until this graph from yesterday.
Look forward to how yours did on JKM's RR, but i bet it wasn't anywhere near 300bhp :wink:
-
You guys think I have boost leak? I thought around 250lbft was low. May be worth getting the forge DV my standard one may well be leaking. but wouldn't my bhp be down too with a boost leak?
tis a curious graph tho, almost OEM style with flat torque curve. Sure its APR and not a Bluefin remap?
u run less boost at top end, so maybe the leak, if there is one, only happens when its boosting higher. which would then point to dv not holding boost just when ur remap is asking for the full monty. Maybe your Forge Spacer doesn't help matters either!
-
they dont nose dive that much. the way people go on about this you would think the turbo just stops spinning all together. post#9 they dont seem to drop off steeply to me, its more of a level out and gradual drop http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=9545.0
RR do you have a dsg map as well. Did i red somewhere that the DSG map will let you hold on to power a bit longer
-
Looks like it was a cracking day out guys and some spot on figures too, bet the weather certainly helped.
I need to stop reading threads like these as I just depress myself by seeing all the cars again and wish I was there.. :sad1:
Gaz - Are you S2+ now I take it? Awesome figures bud :happy2: How does yours compare with Tom's on the road? With you having a noticable power advantage and Tom being S-Tronc?
Tom - Loving the Turinis :happy2:
Matt - Nice to see the motor kicking out some healthy horses now mate :wink:
Bacillus - :surprised: Where do you hide the Nos bottle?
Joe - Poser! :signLOL:

There's also the upgrade to Revo2+ to consider if you change your pump.
No need to change the software but it would allow you to run stage 2 to its full potential. Thats why pumps were invented.

RR do you have a dsg map as well. Did i red somewhere that the DSG map will let you hold on to power a bit longer
....Yes I have the Revo DSG map but the production version was loaded after the dyno sessions. Pre-release Revo DSG map, early version from March, was already loaded.
I'm not greatly fussed about maintaining max power at the higher revs as I tend to have usually shifted gear soon after 5.5 revs anyway. More useful on track though to have the power stay on, but like you say, the engine doesn't just suddenly give up!
-
is bacilus def k03 then. anyone know his mods and software. dead impressed with that.

....That's what I think too, chungster. And hence by running to its full potential along with 2+ software encouragement of other components, the whole is worked harder and the envelope of tolerance is reduced.
We each want different things from our car (as stokeballoon says).
-

....Some say that The Stig regularly eats two turbo's before breakfast.
Some say that bacillus is running a K04 under his hood.
With curves and figures like that, bacillus is either female or must be doing something special. The word on the street whispers "K.. 0.. 4" but is bacillus going to spill about his mods or will it all remain shrouded in secrecy?

hes pulling 360Ibft torqe as well. thats surely beyond the realms of what a k03 can make.
-
is bacilus def k03 then. anyone know his mods and software. dead impressed with that.
....Some say that The Stig regularly eats two turbo's before breakfast.

Certainly not a K04, as with his other mods it would be a lot higher. But still mighty impressive for a K03. More like a KO3 1/2 :laugh:... Hybrid? :wink:
-
well it would be consistant for K04 S1.
i've just done some digging on the other 300+bhp K03 car I know of...the dyno sheet shows that car never made over 300lb/ft (peaked just shy of it) and made 308bhp at just gone 6k rpm.
And that car had A LOT of bits on it.
So this GTI, making 360lb/ft and staying above 300lb/ft till 5k rpm...is i have to say most impressive, if it is a K03 car.
:happy2:
-
i think 300BHp is possible with a ko3 car with water methanol and a custom map, but dubious about 360Ibft. thats huge.
.
who was there on the day, they must know. we need bacillus to come on and post
-
I was there and Bacillus was giving nothing away :laugh:, its the second time I've seen his car make over 300bhp on 2 different rolling roads
-
Looks like it was a cracking day out guys and some spot on figures too, bet the weather certainly helped.
I need to stop reading threads like these as I just depress myself by seeing all the cars again and wish I was there.. :sad1:
Gaz - Are you S2+ now I take it? Awesome figures bud :happy2: How does yours compare with Tom's on the road? With you having a noticable power advantage and Tom being S-Tronc?
Tom - Loving the Turinis :happy2:
Matt - Nice to see the motor kicking out some healthy horses now mate :wink:
Bacillus - :surprised: Where do you hide the Nos bottle?
Joe - Poser! :signLOL:
Yes stg2+ now Ben, there isn't anything between the cars on the road to be honest, I think the DSG really helps out. The only time I felt I had any advantage was at motorway speeds when we were held up by a car which then pulled over and we accelerated again I could gain on him, but that could also be because I was in his slipstream.
Toms car looks absolutely awesome on the road :happy2:
-
from the secrecy...its a K03 > K04 conversion then IMO!!!!
Place your bets folks.....
ps: vRSy...put up another poll like u did for RR on the twintake :grin:
-
its a k03 just a very finally tuned one.
-
Ok, gather around guys as I will only say this once! :smiley:
Under the shiney hood lies a wee oem K03 with revo 2+ software, ITG panel filter and Forge DV. No water meths or NOS.
Last year at Prosport RR day I also got over 300bhp with similiar torque figures but at the end of the meet, the results of all the dsg cars were called into question after Vtec_Abuser's dsg car pulled an unbelievable 360bhp on just a Revo stage 2 map.
The thought of a hybrid turbo instead of a K04 has appeal ed to me in the past but getting the required custom software was such an issue that I've locked all thouhts of doing it away (for now at least :evilgrin: )
-
not even an Intake or IC :surprised: whats your AFR like?
what fuel pump?

-
not even an Intake :surprised: whats your AFR like?
iirc it was running slightly rich @ around 11.5 at redline. The last lambda I logged (that would be more accurate) appeared to be spot on what was being requested by the ecu.
-
lambda of 0.8 is perfect iirc. what fuel pump and IC is it. im guessing you have a very strong engine. jealous, lol :notworthy:

Cough - 372bhp - cough IIRC. Was a bit of a :surprised: moment that, have to say.. :grin: It must be these/our OEM intake, DSG cars Bacillus that have the added X Factor... :signLOL:

For this meet I used B8 T6 F7 as I knew it would be cold.
Fuel has always been V Power and made sure I was running a fresh tankful yesterday.
Car is dsg.

Iv,e come across this before with DSG equipped cars - on RR,s they seem to make way over what they should given the mods. It gotta be something to do with the way the rolling road calibrates the drag/loading on the rollers - DSG seems to be able to fool it into thinking there is more power being transmitted to the sensors.
ps, not having a dig at your car Bacillus just my observations mate :happy2:
-
^^^ but then RR's DSG K03 GTI has never made more than what most people expect?
-
ps, not having a dig at your car Bacillus just my observations mate :happy2:
No offence taken mate. :smiley:
fwiw I went on one car after TC on the RR and the RR operator seemed to be au fait with the dsg box.
Now will RedRobin lend me his twintake to see if it makes any difference in output. :wink: :evilgrin:

@blade
Simple answer to that is no it doesnt. RRs 245hp stage 2 is under what most stage 2 k03s(that i have seen) get on JKMs, IMO thats down to the fact he was using his standard intake. Of which im sure it is now solved with the edition of his twintake, and he will be there competing with the others if not surpassing them.
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=9545.0 post 9 shows three stage 2 cars all on JKMs making more than that. 266hp310Ibft, 256.7hp300ibft and 260.2hp295Ibft respectively.
I know last two of these are manual for sure and im pretty sure the first one is as well looking a the date it was done.
So im not to sure where you get the idea that RRs is making way more than it should. If DSG was making it misread,and give higher results than it should then he should be making more than those????
I can see wher you are coming from with bacillus's results, they seem very high but then there are no other complaints with other results on the day. Plus he has had that before on another RR. he might just have a very strong engine.(or a secret)
some guys on here are insistant that the k03 just does not perform.
-
Excellent results guys :happy2:
Gaz, did you expect that amount of power? and BTW your sig needs altering now :drinking:
-
K03 doing more then 300bhp, only Regals RSR has done more at 350 but whether that was with the k04 upgrade installed im not sure.?
If bacillus is adement that his car still has its K03 inside, then Operator error and a coinsidence with a previous RR day is more likely.
A good engine cant produce 40bhp or so more, just because its " a Good Engine".
-
Excellent results guys :happy2:
Gaz, did you expect that amount of power? and BTW your sig needs altering now :drinking:
no, not at all, was thinkin 340ish which is what I predicted at the time
-
Im with you there in that a good engine will not produce an additional 50bhp. But its not 50Bhp overproducing though is it. 280bhp and 285bhp has been seen on DD rollers.
I spoke to JKM before changing maps and he has seen that a fair amount of times although 275-280hp was more realsitic target. So if that was the case then it could be overreading by 20-30bhp. still pushing the boundries though, i agree.
TBH that post was more aimed at blades post saying RRs is over producing with stage 2 cos of his DSG. which IMO is blatantly not the case.
-
^^ yes Robins car is set on a safer boost setting and not max'd out to preserve his 2nd turbo.
-
^^ But Robin's car isn't Stage 2+ like bacillus, and bacillus invests a lot of time logging his car so knows his Revo settings are right for the car/mods he has.
-
Chaps....
Saturday was the PERFECT day for the rollers, The QNH (corrected atmospheric pressure) was something like 1005 millibars compared to a standard day of 1013mb so cold and dense, temp was maybe 4 degrees compared to a standard day temp of maybe 14 degrees at 500ft up, cold soaked intercoolers.
Now I appreciate the requested PSI is the requested PSI but boyles law and all that!
In addition Bacillus took the time and trouble to tweak his settings to suit the ambient conditions and reaped the benefits.
I think the red herring was the std Ed30 of monkes that did 230.00 BHP, how often have you heard of a stock car putting out stock power after 5,10,15kmiles. Monke reaped the benefits of the day to show stock when maybe you would expect a recircing TFSI to drop off a little bit.
If bacillus had run 290 in the middle of summer then we maybe would be a little more accepting.
To accuse the mild mannered, glasses wearing doctor of being part of a conspiracy theory is a little far off the mark, just well prepped on good gas for the right day imho......
Now wheres me tin hat gone.....

oh yeah course he's not ready to do the HPFP yet is he.
but still Chris / whiteGTI with S2+ never did 300bhp, but he got close at Superchips didn't he?

Have to say Phil the guys at the racingline know the dsg box very well as they deal with the new evo 10 setup all the time and has done lots of vag cars in the past with dsg and sets the rollers up for them. it was a good laugh and as Dave has said bacillus knew how to set his car up for the day and his mods and when are we all booking our cars in with him for a setup :signLOL:

nice to see some of you again, cars look better every time i see em! i know jay must be pissed of with his map but the car is stunning :happy2: some good numbers too, silly really the figures you guys get with a few mods buyt suppose you need it to pull all that german build quality :signLOL:

I know that steve :wink: i replied to vRSy's post saying about Blades comment on Redrobins car under performing when it isnt.
and cheers for your knowledgeable answer DaveB1970, If questioned it because weve yet to see a K03 Gti hit 300bhp on a DD rollers, and if your saying just because the temperature was cool :confused: or does bacillus's select switch give him different settings to everyone elses Revo settings?
Just curious because surely if that was the case then bacillus should tell those with the same setup his settings secret to unlease this hidden powerrrr!!!! :smiley:

I must admit I most I have ever seen is 285bhp and 350lbft from a car with quite a few more mods. :surprised:
I'm not doubting anyone here my only query is has bacillus got a DSG map?

Ah right. Didn't understand how it was hitting 7k. :smiley:

Theres one way to find out..
Go to a 1/4 mile day and the BS stops, can't argue with that?
Sounds like you all had a good day, shame I had to miss it :sad1:
As for DSG skewing results, I dont think so really.. Blades car made 15hp less than mine on a DD rolling road day, with 5 minutes between the two runs.. Mine had the 3" exhaust, no cat, Revo map running more boost, etc etc.. Seemed fair that mine would make a little more power?
I think dyno days are good for one thing, and thats a bit of banter, good meet up and fun.. At the end of the day everyone seemed to have enjoyed it so all is good.. :happy2:
And, if you guys have discovered the worlds most powerful K03 car at the same time then bonus.. Even if it was running with magic fairy dust in the tank, which is the only way it would be running those figures on an engine dyno.. :xmassmiley: :xmassmiley:
-
so JC, are you saying, from your experience, that those numbers for a K03 car are wee bit OTT??
-

Before I get singled out as being 'the bad guy' Ill just say that im just making the point that RR days are famous for this, and you have to expect a couple of spurious results..
Ok so the reason why I say that I dont agree is that my K03 GTI made 278BHP and 312ft/lbs
Spec was as follows on the engine..
2.75" downpipe with de-cat
2.75" cat-back with single box
Evoms intake
Forge twintercooler
Autotech fuel pump
Revo stage 2+

but jonny this car has made the same hp a few times on a few rollers so to me it proves the car can do it and does do it every time :smiley: so lets just say its been done and let that be the end of it :P

Yup, sounds good :happy2:
-
if the correct data is entered it shouldnt matter about the weather etc. the correction factor should change that.
what were the other rolling roads. DD rollers as well or others?? i t could be a spurious result as jonny says, but if it has had those same figures on numerous occasions on the same dyno then, you have to believe it a bit to some degree.
@bacillus do you still have the RR printouts from before

Lower gears will generally make better figures.. Dont think there is any right or wrong way to do it, but it does add another variable between days..
As with any RR result, you just need to take it with a pinch of salt..
True on road/track performance is what counts for me.. And probably the rest of people on here.. :smiley:

Driveability is what does it for me but I find the dyno plots useful for checking that the graphs show running as it should be. I'm not so fussed about high quantities of neddies.

Sorry that I confused you to think that I know what I'm talking about!
At work we calculate power based on pressure altitude which is a single figure that takes into account pressure AND temperature together so we could have a really cold day but with very high pressure that would conteract that, so a cold dense day is a double win.
So sorry for making you think I've got any idea what Im talking about, theres a lot of trickery/smoke/mirrors going on within engine ECU's - and I know squat about it. My old piston engined aircraft engines were designed in the 50's and we were celebrating electronic ignition in the late 90's when I flew them last!!! So atmospherics were a big part of the daily calculations to make to make sure we'd leave the ground I've seen too many close up runway ends not to swat up on it :scared:
My point is it can make a 10% difference between extremes of ambients

There were no other really mad readings on the day, it felt like to me that all the readings a few percent higher than what could be considered expected results. Monty's made 230 as a stock car, but he may have had a slight problem with his which coinscidently gave stock results as a low reading.
Bacillus has S3 cooler, 2.75 milly, revo DSG map HPFP, stage 2+ engine map and panel filter.
Which to my mind would not give 40 BHp over my reading no matter what settings he put in through his SPS. I personally think he is playing with octane boosters or that fuel mix that Stevie came up with. But who knows, and i actually like all the intrigue his car is causing. :santa:
-
I thought that could have been a possibilty. Hurdy had good results with it. Could have been able to advance timing as well with it if he did, and release that little bit more horsies.
I always thought that the stock airbox couldnt cope with stage 2+ on a k03, So if if he fitted an intake and made gains of 10bhp over stock that would have been 313bhp 360Ibft+.

I personally think he is playing with octane boosters or that fuel mix that Stevie came up with.
Just to stop this speculation, I attended with a fresh tankful of Shell V Power and nothing else i.e. no octane booster.
If I wanted a higher octane fuel, I would have got some BP 102 RON petrol but since that stuff is so infrequently used, it might have been even less than 99 RON through deterioration with prolonged storage.

My thoughts exactly mate.. Even if Bacillus is a 1/4 mile virgin and doesn't have great launches, the terminal speed will indicate what sort of power it is running. With his RR figure it should be seeing around 104-5mph I reckon..

True transmission loss for the MK5 is no where near that figure, its more like 8 - 12%.. Some of the American Dyno's have huge losses which make for impressive figures

Really liking the bluetooth Darren :happy2: and I cannot fault the 5800 mate. It really is a great all-rounder!
-
Oh, and I keep a keen eye on my Oil level too.
You're supposed to check the oil regularly??
Ooops....my first Turbo car....not checked it since purchase early October . :ashamed:
Done around 1700 miles so far - best check it tomorrow. Is once a month an adequate checking interval?
-
What issues are you having Monte?
My nav successfully guided me to work this morning and also home tonight :jumpmove:
Thanks again Darren - ever thought of opening up a VW Dealership - i'll be the Accountant! :xmassmiley:
I'll be your sales exec... as I am one @ Blackpool VW

Thats roughly how often I check mine :happy2: Some of em drink alot of oil.

Checked my oil - it's between min and max so i'll by a 1 litre oil thingy, but, question - what's the standard oil for these cars? Make and viscosity anyone? I have some Mobil 1 fully synth in my garage for my GT3 but dont think that'll be suitable at all as it'll prob have non-synth in the car already.

Go get yourself some Castrol Edge 5W-30 oil at Halfords. Be prepared to pay around £14 for a litre. :scared:

I was told by VW not to use this. Although my engine is a 1.6 fsi. They said it had to be Castrol SLX or something like that. It was £11 from the dealers for a litre. I dont know if they wanted me to buy from them or if i actually cant use the edge with my engine. :confused:
-
After my Costco supply of Castrol Edge 5W-30 ran out (it was only £5 a litre a couple of years ago!) - I decided to buy in bulk (via ebay) works out about £8/9 quid or £7 hmm can't remember if the top of my head.. but anyway
I think my local (crap) VW Leeds sells it reasonably cheap at £11 a litre. If I was really stuck I would buy from there as you can easily pay up to £19 at petrol station for this stuff. The only good thing about black gold is the shares I hold in some companies drilling it!!
-
Duh....just checked the copy service invoice i obtained from the dealer who carried out its first and only service so far.
They've put in Helix Ultra VX 5W-30 so assume the Castrol 5W-30 stuff will mix ok with this?
Is the Helix Ultra an ok oil?
(apologies for taking this topic way off topic!!)

So long as there both fully synthetic then I can't see there being any problem.. You would only have an issue running a mineral oil with Semi or fully synthetic etc.. It'll be fine mate :happy2:
-
that Helix Ultra VX 5W-30 is made by Shell who have apparently taken over the supply contract from Castrol.
It'specifically formulated to meet the needs of most VW, Audi, Skoda and SEAT engines and is developed for Long Life service. :smiley:
-
anyone noticed mat from racinglines evo in redline this month?
-

it does look mint on the speedlines, looks even better on the move :happy2:, hope you don't want the anthracite/graphite turini's that are advertised at a few places because they aren't actually available they have never produced them. After I saw Toms at the Halifax RR meet I went looking for some myself and was left disapointed :confused:
