oil

How many litres of oil is an FR/Cupra engine designed to hold? I was getting beeps on roundabouts saying I was low so forked out £45 for 4 litres of Castrol Edge 5w-30 and used every last drop and still wasn't at the max!!!!!!????? :wtf:

Hi does anybody know of the best location to fit an oil temp gauge sender in the pipework???? :confused: going to use an electric oil temp guage, would just be handy to know when the oild is up to temp so i can look after my turbo better!

:confused: :confused:Took my car in this morning to get oil change, frrom my mates garage, at has come up on the reg that the leon fr tdi uses bulk 10W 40 semi synthetic???? Phoned Scott(with look alike ibiza cupra)'s brother who is a VAG mechanic, he says it's right enough they use 10w 40 semi...

When would people recommend having the 1st oil change from new and am I right to assume this can be done anywhere it, doesn't have to be at the dealers?!

I'll give you the low down guys, after work today started my car, everrything was fine, i pulled out and as i started to move it just stalled, i never noticed until i tried to put the foot down a tiny bit more in the car park nothing! thought dam stalled it! Went to start it, it tried to turn...

What oil do you guys use in your mk3 ibiza cupra's. 1.8t ayp. I work at vauxhall and we do super synthetic 5w30. Is that good enough? and how much does the ibiza take?

Hi all How often do you have to top up your oil in your lcr? Do these car's use much oil? never had a turboed car before. when i do check it most of the time i have had to top it up. Cheers :)

Picked up the part from GSF and it doesn't look at all like the oil filters on the other cars I have/had. How does one replace the thing? UTA

Hi all, I have a Raid HP Oil Presure gauge, and have gone through 2 senders over the past year, one came with the gauge, lasted about 3 months, second one from ebay and was a replica 'auto guage' make, which also lasted about 3 months. It works fine for 3 months reading between 3 and 5 bar...

Anyone know the oil feed thread size for Garrett turbos? Mine is this: Hoping one side is -4AN. Could the other be 1/8"NPT (the side that screws into the turbo itself)?

Hi guys, Just wondering, how do i fit an oil temp and oil pressure gauge to my car?? I cant work it out lol! I get the basic power supply bit but where do i attach the senders? Any help would be great Thanks xpa :confused:

I got the 1.6 tdi, and i was washing it the other day when i woke up and decided to check the oil, its getting really close to the minimum line.... i only had it for a month and half.. is this normal?? 1800 miles on it.. should i just top it up?? If so, does any body know what oil to put...

does anyone know how to turn the word oil off that comes on when your car is due a oil change? without using vagcom...just the same way you turn the service message off i guess but ive forgotten how too lol :(

l'm putting a Nomad pillar in my LCR at the weekend with a boost gauge but l'm wondering whether its actually worth while putting an oil pressure gauge in too :confused: Any views......???

Not the usual "which one do i get" or "where do i plumb it in" Which is better, a recirculating one, where it is plumbed back into the intake, or vent to atmosphere? I always thought that a recirc version would be better, but the guy who supplies the majority of my parts says that a vta...

As title says whats oil do you guys think is the best quality, I change my oil every six months or less, the Castrol works out at about £50 every change and the Fuchs is £30.00 or there abouts inc VAT?? I change it often but cant decide what is best to look after my engine??:confused:
