    Oil for higher power/fast road/trackdays?

    Just wondering what engine oil people are using for their modifed engines? I know VAG recommend 5W30 for 504.507 but I am looking at Millers CFS 5W40 or Silkolene Pro S 5W40 right now which have been mentioned for high performance/higher heat applications.

  8. Has higher mileage affected your LCR performance?

    I've been looking for an LCR for about a month now and its increasingly more difficult finding a low mileage example. I did test drive one a couple of weeks ago that did only 21K but I rejected it due to 3 owners (which was a bit suspicous being a 55 plate that done such low mileage) and the...

    Boosting higher in fifth and sixth??

    Hey, I've noticed today that in fifth and sixth the boost gauge shows 0.8bar?? The other gears are normal (0.5-0.6 bar). Car is stock map 180hp Leon. Also noticed mpg has dropped quite a bit. What could this be? Thanks Dan

    Boost - Higher or Lower in Hotter temps / Summer

    Hey peeps Contradicting opinions here, and I want to check something. Over the last 2 weeks or so, my car is boosting more than usual, so much so I hit limp mode once, which I've never done before. My boost gauge is reading 23psi peaks, and I'm not happy about it so I'm going to back...
