all in the Sticky at the top of the section.

hey went through the sticky but there was no deffinate answer whether the 505.01 or the long life 506.01 was better cos it been mapped etc?????

Phone your seat dealer and ask for either pd oil, longlife 2 or longlife 3. They are all sufficient for your need and it makes no difference if its been mapped.
You could also use millers SFPD fully synthetic pd oil.

I'd recommend Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30 Longlife.

And how you missed this is beyond me:

VW505.01

For Diesel PD engines:

1.4TDI & 1.9PD's (115/130/150) & 2.0

 

[ibizadoyle]

yea but there were some people saying that if it mapped you should use the cupra ones etc mate

Worth noting that VW505.01 - 5w 40 and 506.01 - 0w 30 have now both been superceded by VW504/507 - 5w 30. Only Seat still use the 505.01 as they don't use the extended service intervals as do VW, Audi. Not sure about Skoda.

If you're undecided then see my previous post.

I'm sure Skoda still uses 505.01 oils for fixed servicing on their cars. I thought SEAT (possibly other VAG cars) recommended it for normal deisals and the higher spec oil for cars with over 150 BHP. I use Millers XFE-PD in my Fabia vRS.

I think for a re-mapped PD130 you can use either spec.

I'd go for the Quantum Synta Gold 5w30 (507.01) myself. Pretty good for the money.
