Sorry if I've missed any previous threads on this topic for this age of petrol engine, but at factory, what grade of oil is used with the 1.4 85PS petrol engine - car is an October 2009 new build. I have seen Castrol SLX ?W-?? on the accessory stands and VW seem to use this with the new Polo...

Hello. I'm fitting a shallower sump to my TDI, on the new sump i haven't got the mounting for the oil level sensor. Can I remove the sensor? Will it cause a fault code/warning? Will I have to link the wire's to prevent a warning? Or is it something which will have to be switched off...

Hii, I am planning do an oil & filter change on my 2003 1.4S Petrol cordoba. Halfords website car parts link pointed me to the right oil type (Mobil 1 ESP fully Syn) for this make/model. But the Oil filter search didn’t point to anything. So I put in VW Polo 1.4 (which I think is the...

After spending ages sourcing a silicon y-breather I tried to fit it today only to find that the plastic lower pipe was split as well. It basically came off in my hand [:@]. With a little futher investigation I've found that there must also me damage to the oil breather pipes under the inlet...

HI. I would like to change the oil in my 2003 1.4 sports Ibiza gearbox. I have looked underneath and cannot find an obvious drain plug on the gearbox. Can anyone help?

Hi folks, Searched the forums, but can't seem to see a response to this issue... My oil pressure/level light (in the square config in the centre of the dash) came on (yellow - stays on...) during my drive to work this morning. Checked the oil level and it was a bit on the low side. So I've...

Would running it on 10W40 semi to vag 500.05 cause any harm for arround 2 -3 weeks? till i can get the cash for some 5/40. Also its a new build so will help it run in better as fully synthetic doesnt allow much wear in terms of running in.

Hi, I have a 98 Cordoba Sx which this morning cut out whilst driving. All the warning I had was that the oil pressure gauge flashed on and off and then the car just ground to a halt! I imagine it went into safe mode or something as I had time to pull over but it wasn't in a safe place. I...
