Hi,been reading the threads on the correct oil to use. I have a July 07 2.0 TDi 140bhp Altea Sport Black & White Special Edition.I assumed that I would use 5W40 fully synthetic oil with spec 505.01 for PD engines but I have read that engines with a DPF need 507.00.Does my engine have a DPF? I...

My Loen 2.0TDI seem to take a long time to get up to temp. I assume it should be at the 90 mark when fully warmed? Today, for instance, it was a cold day about 1deg (brrrrrrrrrrr) and it took over half an hour and that was not moving much due to heavy trafic So my question, how long does...

We've just had notification through for the car's tax. DVLA reckons that the emissions are 154g/km, however the seat website says the average is 147g/km. Is there a way we can get DVLA to adjust their records so that we get charged the right amount? The band that they think we're in costs...

Hi, Has anyone on the forum ever attempted retrofitting a MFSW with paddleshift to a leon 2.0tdi with dsg?. I have read over on VWVortex that this has been done on Golfs and Jettas without to much heartache but wondered if this had been attempted on a Seat? Thanks,

I just handed my 2.0 TDI Ref Sport to the stealership to repair a loose roof spoiler and was given a courtesy car in the shape of a 1.6 Ref Sport. Now, no disrespect to any owners of this model of car :whistle:, but my god, I really noticed the power difference. When I got into the office, I...

After much deliberation have just re-tyred the Standard fit 16" Alloys with New Tyres. After a bit of Research have chosen The Continental Premium Contact 2 - 205/55/16 V Rated Tyres. This Tyre seemed to score an all round 4.5 out of 5 on a few review sites and has 3D tread technology to aid...
